Hey i was wondering, i have a 5s-fe engine in my car, is it worth it to make it a good nautually aspired enigine or should i just save up for a 3s-gte. I can do all the engine work myself i am a toyota mechanic. I was just wondering from other people if they thought i should go all out with this engine or just do the the swap. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

hasnt there been an issue with the 3s blocks cracking between cyl 2/3 due to the water in the small passage between the 2 boiling and that one spot getting too hot? i remember there was a thread about that on mr2oc board. i think the solution was a 2nd electric pump to increase flow and/or a higher PSI cooling system.
