I'm sure a good number of u guys have done your own swaps, but curiosity keeps me thinking... did u guys have any previous knowledge or experience in doing the swap? im assuming you guys already knew about how a car runs an what not, just generally what did you know about teh swap, specially 3sgte swap...

The blacktop if I'm not mistaken is actually the newer version made from 95-98 with a higher compression (11:1) vs the silvertop's 10.5:1. They both have DOHC 20V and they both have VVT. But the blacktop also has a map sensor and the diameter of the individual throttle bodies is increased.

"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn."
"What?"
"Just do it."
".......He said yes."
"Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up."
".......Sweet. Thanks."
"No problem."
