yes, IIRC shannons motor is a 98 or 99.
yes, it was a long block when they bought it, meaning it was the block, head, everything in them, and intake manifold, ect.

you cant just "swap a 3s head over", its a lot of custom work, and takes the 3s electronics to run it.
i have not build one myself. but there are a few members here who have.

etak, i have looked at it, but to be honest, i dont like how it sounds, and with theyre setup there is no need for it, the SSQV does the job quite nicely.

Manny I was just about to start writing but you beat me to it...Yea I have always liked the sound of the hks ssqv so I have had no interest in any other and since I have had zero problems with mine and I love the way it sounds I don't think I will be anytime soon

I hear a lot of ppl say they get sick of hearing that chirping sound but I love it..I fall in love with it more every time I hear it...What i really love is when im following Manny's car or he is following me I get to hear it twice...now that is sweet.

Manny the 98 99 have a metal head gasket and better oil pump right isn't that the biggest difference...I think that's why Jeremy told me to go with that when I was sourcing a new 5sfe...also that it would be newer and more likely have less miles.

yup. you got it right shannon.

I used to love the bov sound, but it does get old after a while. Stealth recirculation ftw!

well then maybe il just stick to a complete 5s motor....what model camry does the long block come in? is it that same as a gt/gts 6th gen? like mount wise and stuff??...im asking you guys as you seem to be very very knowledged in the 5s..and it shows

bump! anyone?? lookin to learn about a 5s long block...or are the all the same?..lookin at a 98 out of camry with 78 tho kms on it looks to be the same but im a newb to this any one?

Noone is answering cause this is Shannon's build thread. It's considered bad form to spam someones build thread with unrelated questions. You might do better by searching and then if you can't find the answers make your own thread so as not to clutter up this one.
Not getting down on you - how would you know if you haven't been here too long

yea sorry... just gettin anxiuos to see if this motor will fit..il search and repost...my appologies to shannon and manny for cluttering this up

hey shannon, quick question, how do you get the bov to stay in that adapter pipe?

the HKS bov uses a C-clip

i hated that stupid C-clip.....so glad i have a diverter (recirc) just two hose clamps now

the right tools work wonders, dan..

Oh i got tools beyond belief i just hated it

the first time I put it in, I didn't use snap ring pliers... when I tried to take it back out though, I had no choice. I bought an assorted set of them, but that c-clip was still ridiculous! It took 2 people and over an hour of struggling to get it out...

Yea when we first put the c clip in it was a pain..it took forever and a lot of patients. I am glad that's over with.

i like that front lip. what is it?? nevermind I suppose I could just look on your profile huh? anyways, nice car.

Its a HIRO lip

I know I read the profile too bad im selling my car.

Question about 2 Bar Map sensor... does it have to be the 3sgte one? or can it be from other cars like my buddies rx7, he says that they look very similar

can i see a pic? or something im confused of exactly what i need
