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...) |

dont buy an mr2 engine, unless you already have a 3sgte that you blew up or something and you can take the altinaor brackets and stuff like that and put it on your engine.
there are 2 problems with buying these swap kits......number one, they just flat out lie to you about what you will get with the kit. ive talked to so many people that said, "they said the harness wouldnt be cut, but it is" ,etc. number two, you dont know who took that engine out, and how carefull they were with it. it could have been dropped on the oil pan for all you know. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
