A while ago i wanted to swap my engine stupid 5sfe to a 3sgte but i changed my mind because it was going to be an illegal engine , now i dont care if its illegal so i will start saving money for the swap ... i will probably be swapping sometime next year but right now i want to know which engine i am better off buying :
an MR2 3sgte which will come with the right transmision if i am not wrong
or the st185 3sgte which will come with the useless AWD transmision

Whats the difference between them anyways ?

i'm not quite sure about the difference between them, but its been done many times where the AWD tranny was converted to FWD. Anyway, u can still have the engine swap legally in CA, the engine just has to be the same year or newer, and the engine had to be introduced to CA formally (which i think the 3sgte was with the MR2T). So therefore, it would be legal in that case bud smile.gif I think u will have to go with a 3rd gen 3sgte.

You say you don't understand how we go dumb, but have you ever been where i'm from?
