In the next month or 2 I would like to do a 3sgte swap into my celi, but didn't want to just buy from somewhere on the internet i have never heard of. Where are some places that y'all have used or use to buy either the engine or whole clip(what i really want)

I would just like an opinion before I send over a couple thousand dollars to some company lol

eBay. Sellers on there with a good rating I'd trust. If I were buying an engine for a swap that's most likely where I'd get it.

most buy from ebay. once in a while there will be some good deals. usually ones without body parts are cheaper than those with it. with a $4500 price tag, i'd just rather get a second car lol. GL on your search!

I bought mine from jdmengineworld.com. I got a quality clip for a good price, and the customer service was top notch

Anyone have any luck with buying clips? I'm leaning towards a clip so I can know I have all that I need.

I think you're the guy I talked to on the FB page.

Dallas JDM Motors
(817)-652-0300
827 Ave. H Suite#213
Arlington, Texas 76011

They said $3,000 for a ST205 front cut with all the front body parts plus the rear end.
$1,700 for a 3sgte swap kit, which Im assuming includes at least the engine, wiring harness and ECU.
