6bolt swap? Options

[97TalonTSI]

Ok guys I am getting the 6bolt shortblock back on Friday. I am using my 2g head on this. And I know that a 1g head will flow better but I am using the 2g head. I was wondering if any one has experiened this? Main ? can I use the 2g oil filter housing with my stock oil cooler? Also will my 2g water pump bolt onto the 6bolt front case? I have read conflict stories on that. Any other info would be good. I would like to have first hand experiences not go to this link. Chances are I have already read them.

Thanks guys. Also we are starting the reassembly this weekend if anyone would like to come out to Downs and help or just hang out. My number is 309-261-6880.

Thanks
Jeremy

Hey guys! I just got my car back from being transformed from a '99 GSX to a 6 bolt. I can not take credit for doing it because I didn't do it, Advanced automotive center on Washington St. did it for me. My reason for not doing it is because it is a pain in the ass! But anyways, don't buy anything from tigerjapanese.com, because they completely screwed me over not only on the money, but on the engine I bought too. I had it running for 2 days and I blew my head gasket. I send my head to a machine shop to get pressure tested for cracks and they told me that the head had already been milled and that the head is warped. The head is junk! Tigerjapanese.com told me that the engine is no longer under warranty and they screwed me. So I just purchased a brand new head from slowboyracing.com and it shoud be in 3 days. www.slowboyracing.com are AWESOME. It should be up and running in about 1 week.
