That would be my best bet! __________________ We expect shit to break, look foward to realizing exactly when it is happening, and than obsess about dropping plenty of cash to rebuild stronger, so we can try to run it hard as hell and break again.

1997 you need a new coolant nipple. The 1998 is the only year you can reuse the nippple. I have done 2 swaps one 96 and other 97. I used some hose from the hardware store and clamped it to the nipple. Still going as of now. So it held ok.

Maybe I should buy the new nipple though just incase. What is your opinion on this? __________________ We expect shit to break, look foward to realizing exactly when it is happening, and than obsess about dropping plenty of cash to rebuild stronger, so we can try to run it hard as hell and break again.

PI intake /w alum crossover and pi gaskets, pi coolant tube w/ nipple, feul rail disconnect tool, alternator brackets, that toyota silicone shit, a tap and 3/18 drill for taping the crossover...anything else...I will be doing this as soon as school lets out just gathering my parts now.

Okay so I am having trouble finding a tap that is 3/8 x 18. there are apperently two different types. I am including a chart in this post to see which one I need and then maybe if anybody had a clue where I might beable to buy them! And ACE hardware doesnt have any 3/8 x 18 taps (i checked during break)! Thanks man!
