My problem is I just want to be like heres $5000, get it done. Come back 2 weeks later and pick up my celica. Obviously things dont work like that, I dont know jack sh*t when it comes to engines, I always used 2 let my friend work on my old 300zx but now he moved away. I love my car but its 2 damn slow :-( any suggestions on how to get the 3s swap done? Im tempted to ship my car to where 1 of these other guys have had there swap done and just let them do it for me.

honestly, if you do that, then you are just asking for trouble. you have to remember that this is a custom type of thing, and you really want to learn everything you can about it, by doing a lot of the work youself. future post swap issues can come up and it will really benefit you to be able to fix them youself or at least know whats going on.

its not hard, you just have to be hard working. i didnt know anything at all when i started my swap, but leared quicky more then i ever thought i would. part of the cool thing about doing a swap, is the things youll learn from it that will forever benefit you as a car owner.
