look into the sticky at the top of this page for where to get a clip.

also id probably pay like 400-500 for the 5s but you might be able to ask more.

true dat, dont buy a motor, buy a clip... everyone will tell you that whos swapped... i mean, i havent swapped, and i know to tell you to buy a clip....

depends on the condition of your motor. im sure there a plenty of people here that wouldnt mind spending a little more and getting a motor that is in great shape and was well taken care of.

Dont Skip it
Clip it
and then ship it
spend the extra bit
it'll keep you outta the pit
and from having a fit

okay noob question, what is the diff between a half cut and a clip?

I believe a cut half includes the dash board as well.

They are the same thing... two different names for it

I'm new to this forum, but I have noticed that there are some individuals that are pretty sharp with their info. Love to see correct info vs someone saying something, everyone believeing it, but it is totally false. Sorry guys, just had to chime in.

You are most definately going to want to by a clip, half cut, front cut, front clip, half car! This is the only way to perform a hassle free engine swap, and avoid hunting down parts you never knew where missing because you don't have a turbo all trac to know what is what. If I may, I would like to add my name and number to your list of suppliers as we import Toyota only high performance complete engine swaps ie.. half cuts! The longest Jdm Mr2 turbo engine supplier to date.

[pimped6gen]

hey thanks guys for all the input! Sorry i havent responded! I have not been watching this forum. I will deffinately talk to ron...thanks for the number for me to be able to contact you! I will be doing that shortly.
And as for shadycrew31 i have 2 friends of mine wanting to buy my motor already, but you let me know if you wanna give me a better offer. I am selling it to them for $500..i have NEVER had any problems with it, nothing ever needed to be fixed within my motor. I have treated it very well and the engine only has 85000 miles on it. I bought it with 68,000 and only had one owner before me. It was a girl who owned it before me so i know the enigne was treated well. Let me know what ya think.
Again, thanks for all the imput guys, i will deffinately go for the front clip, i was just gonna buy the motor but u guys have changed my mind thanks!
