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...) |

Better get a full clip. That way, you can transfer over the major parts of the harness that you'll need and not have to resort to reading diagrams and splicing/repinning the harness and plugs (you'll probably still have to, but not as blindly...). That work alone is well worth the clip. The actual mechanical stuff is easy...
