The update is The motor was pulled and disassembled. The front iron is definitely cracked. Oil pan had a quart of oil in it so the bearings and everything else is good. I purchased a new iron from atkins and have finally sent out the iron to goopy to cut the bridge then I will go from there with getting the rest of the porting done. Now that it is warm out I wanna drive it again.

So I started working on the car. I am upgrading the battery cables from 4 to 1/0 gauge. After driving the car for like an hour the wires would be warm so I think larger gauge wires was in order. I should be getting the front iron back this week and I will then start on the reassembly of the block.
These are the wires I used.
To install the wires and to clean up the messy interior I also removed the seats. There was a ton of **** under there. LOL
I plan to have this car running and driving in about 6 weeks.

Make an assessment...

I did the exact same thing last month, swapped from 4ga to 1/0, also using welding cable although not the same brand. I haven't tried starting the car yet because half the engine bay is still torn apart. But I had some slow cranking issues at one point and figured this was worth a shot. I never felt if they were warm before.

^ I never had cranking issues. I think the larger wire was needed due to the electric water pump drawing a lot of power.
This came in the mail last night. So excited to start on the motor soon.
Also im selling my ECU and patch harness if interested. https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati.../#post12054102

Thanks
I really hope to have the motor running by sunday evening but realistically it will be probably like tuesday or wednesday the following week.
Im currently working on relocating the fuse/relay boxes and hating every second of it but once its done it should be nice.
