So i have finally decided that i will keep my 6gc and swap in a 3sgte and go that route as opposed to everything else i was talking about. Whew glas to have made up my mind, finally!!!
So i know a good toyota shop in Portland Oregon(where i live) and personally know the owners but am not sure they will do the swap. So this raises two questions... Does anybody know of anyone on the West Coast who can handle a 3sgte motor and tranny swap into a 94 GT coupe, and do it right?? Where should i order the Engine and parts from?? I have found a couple of websites on here and such that offer everything but i have very hesitant to drop 2 grand on the motor over the internet. So three more questions Is buying a motor and tranny and all that is needed for this swap, online the ONLY way to go? Should i have the toyota shop order it? will it be more if they order it? -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2

Many engine sets are complete enough, Jarco has very few clips for sale.
In Oregon there are reputable shops around just ask around locally. If you decide to do it yourself there are plenty of people and info available here to help you out. Make a meet of it and I'm sure people from the NW would be willing to lend a helping hand.

If anybody could name drop a shop that has done one before or is good now would be a good time, i am getting tired of being laughed out for trying to swap my celica my favorite response "So you want to make your celica a supra, that just wont happen man sorry we dont do that, no one does..." Like WTF!!! He didnt even understandwhat i was talking about!!!!! Thanks -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2
