So I know that everyone recommends buying a front clip when considering a 3SGTE engine swap (into a GT). I've noticed quite a diffence in prices in buying the engine/trans/ecu packages (in shipping as well), and I was wondering if it would be worth my while to hunt down these fabled "little pieces" everyone groans about.

I know a list of all these pieces might be too much to ask, but I guess if anyone is feeling generous... (I have searched the forums several times, but I can never find a clear definition of "little pieces" Maybe I'm blind...)

I've though the same thing as djspray before. I mean, if you can find and engine with a trany, fully wiring harness and ecu for like about 2000 dolars less than a clip, its seems like it might be worth it to look for a MAF sensors, resister packs and igniter... What else do you need for a swap?

Many swaps that aren't clips claim to have everything for a swap, too. Such as the clip here on ebay.

What do al the experts here think? Is it worth it?
