I have a 94 gt ive had my baby for about 4 months now, and due to money complications i haven't been able add any mods. I've been reading quite a bit, I noticed that most of you guys would rather swap to the 3s-gte than add other mods to the stock engine- correct? if so, than where can i find this engine, does it swap easily, me and my dad have swaped engines before so I was just wondering? Thanks guys

The swap is pretty easy to do... expessially if you have some experience with swapping engines before...

You will need to locate a 3sgte, tranny, ECU, and the wiring harness.
You may also want to locate a gt4 front clip... but not necessary.

The motor will work with the stock mounts but you would be better to get new ones from TRD... you will gain a little torque doing this.

It would also be smart to get the rear end out of a gt4 so you will have all wheel drive... but you will need all new suspension on the rear half to do this your stock struts and shocks,etc will not work.. you need to relocate the gas tank and do a little cutting to fit the pumpkin.

To do just a basic swap you are looking to spend $4000-5000... but you would spend this just to get a 5sfe engine close to the power of a 3sgte... there are also a lot more performance parts for the 3sgte.

If you want more info about doing this swap you can email me
