ok guys i have about 5g's saved up for the 3sgte swap into my 94 st ive done some research and i have a couple of questions

first question is the motor mounts... i saw in a really old thread someone said u had to weld new ones im confused on what to do with the mounts. what works for this

second is im looking to use the gt tranny so how much is that gonna cost me

and last if there is neone who knows any other usfull info about swapping into and st please feel free to let me know

thanks, james

get GT motor mounts, they will work with the GT tranny and 3sgte motor. no welding involved.

that simple sounds good to me thank you

dont forget the shifter cables for the gt tranny as well. You will need the motor mount/ bracket combo. Also, in order to install the pass. side motor mount, your gonna have to drill 2 holes into the frame and get 2 long bolts in order for it to work. There are two dimples arlready marked there for you so they should be easy to locate. hope this helps. any questions, feel free to ask me, i put a 3s into my st

You know, I used the shifter cables from my ST, and they seem to work just fine. What was the issue with the ST cables?

so how much is a gt tranny and the mounts gonna cost me... any idea

I thought i saw a post a long time ago saying that the GT cables were a little bit longer than the st cables. But i guess i could be wrong . I used my ST cables on my E-153 tranny and they worked... but the shifting was a little off. It wassent till i got my st205 cables that the shifting really felt right. Thats why from personal experience, i would recomend getting matching cables for the tranny.











With mounts and brackets you are looking aroung roughly $200. Try to get to a junk yard and try to get the brackets from there if you can. Esp. the the passenger side bracket which whent to the dealer, they told me they couldnt get one anymore... but it may be different for you.
