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 would also be converting making an auto to manual conversion. You have me convinced on buying a clip, but anything I should worry about the manual conversion since the clips will be right-hand drive? Or am I gonna be looking for US parts for the conversion....

(wish I could have found a manual in the first place)

Should all work the same. If you have an ST, you'll need shift linkages from a GT. If you have a GT, you should be OK. As for auto to manual swap parts, the MR2 clip might lack the correct parts (clutch master cylinder, pedal, lines, etc...) so you'll have to source those from a Celica GT or something.
