I have a '95 ST Liftback 5 speed (AT200) with a bad 7AFE. I kinda hate to replace it with another anemic 7AFE but I'm not up to the 3SGTE swap. I see no mention of a 7AFE to 5SFE swap on the boards except that it is not plug-and-play and it is as much trouble as a 4AGE 20V or a 3SGTE.
MY question: What is required to upgrade my AT200 from 7AFE to 5SFE, and what year or years ST204 GT should I select as a donor car? I'm hoping to hear I'll need the ECU and engine wiring harness from the ST204 and that the engine will bolt up to my transaxle. If the swap requires harness splicing and pinout changes I'll probably just settle for 110 HP and stick with the 7AFE. Thanks for any info. |

Thanks for the insight. It helps. On this one I'm going to stay with the stock configuration.
BTW I went to high school in Belmont just up the peninsula from San Jose, back in the sixties. Let me tell you hot rodding was alive and well in the Bay area then, and I saw one of the first sub-7 second 1/4 mile Top Fuel passes at Fremont. Shoot, Pro Stocks run 6.60 on 2 four barrels nowadays at over 200. And Top Fuel is running 4.4 seconds @ 333 mph. Blowers and tires got them there. Hey, that 3SGTE is turbocharged. Hmmm. |
