Which swap do you mean? The complete 90-92 motor or a 6 bolt block with a 2g head (assuming that you have a 2g that is)?
If by "swap", you mean the complete motor, here you go.
The other swap is tough to find since not many have it done or prefer the 1G head flow over the 2g head flow (except me ). If I find it I'll pass it along to you.

Oops, forgot the other question.
Benefits to a 6 bolt block over the 7 bolt block... = to crankwalk or not to crankwalk.
Here's a good read, long but nonetheless a good read to your question.
Here's a more direct answer to your question.



Here's a Magnus 6 bolt swap PDF.

silvercoupe97. just wondering i was looking at some of your pictures and it seem like you did the complete 6 bolt swap. This correct if so did you have problem with random missfire during cruise.

I sure did...before I got DSMLink that is
Even with the wires swapped around as per Magnus.
I also have a 2g head as opposed to the 1g head The 2g stuff was taken out though because with the 1G block, you need the 1G CAS.

The only thing with a 6 bolt swap, is that you can make it ghetto or you can make it look like it belongs. Either way, you're making something work in a car that wasn't there originally, so it's going to look fabbed no matter what.
The sticky that I saw above looks more like what's known more as 2.4 swap though, because the main focus on that swap is having a larger bore with the block benefits being a given. The only drawback to most of the "newer" owners is the process. That is something I would do, lol, but not likely something a guy new to DSMs or low on funds would do. Did you know that there's also a 7bolt 2.4L block swap? Yup from a 4g64...the 6bolt and 7bolt discussion doesn't work in this case, since both are meant for one reason, 2.4L as opposed to staying with a 2.0L which equates to more torque.
The straight 6bolt swap is just that, where the focus is to get rid of the 7bolt. It is "easier", meaning less of a process and cash (to most) and is what is most sought after compared to the 2.4L conversion.

So, there are many potentials to our 4g63s. It's just a matter of which one best suits your needs/wants.
IMO, guys with AWD would benefit with a 2.4L block and a bigger turbo, such as what the turbo'd FWD guys use to keep from having traction issues at lower gears (50trim+). Especially on the streets, not so much on the 1/4 mile tracks though. Just my opinion though.
