for those of you guys that did the swap, what did you guys do with all of your left over stuff? like motors, trannys if you did swap that, so on and so on? i was kinda wondering if any shop or yard would trade me a gt tranny for my st tranny and motor, but what did you guys do? and if you sold them, how much did you sell your stuff for?

i've been wondering that too. Don't really want to put a good engine to waste after a swap.

I kept the a/c compressor, map sensor, transmission with flywheel and clutch, slave cylinder, starter, and alternator. The motor itself was trashed due to the big hole in the block(yup, my brother-in-law blew my motor while I was still in Iraq).

IPB Image Sorry a bit off topic but... how much do you guys think a 7afe+tranny+wire harness would cost at a junk yard? ive sold off too much of my 7a already and was thinking of a plan b if i cant get my car to pass smog? or if anyone in socal is planning a swap towards the end of this year... i might take it off your hands. thanks....



I guess to answer your question, i tried parting it out to make back some money, not stopping to think i might need it two years down the line. whoops...

well, i just dont have any use for it. i dont plan on going back to stock ever, just no need to. so my st motor/tranny will be just that, a paper weight. I guess i could sell driveshafts and such online to part out somethings, but i just dont think that there is that much of a "need" of parts for the st's, you know? lagos, how much did you sell your motor for?

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

I am a nice guy, what can I say? Actually, I only had a short time to get rid of it. I was satisfied.
