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?

If you're willing to take it down to San Jose, CA, there is a good shop here for that sort of thing. It's called Aggressive Performance, and they specialize in MR2s and Celicas. He has done work on my MR2 Turbo and my Celica, and he's done plenty of engine swaps. 408-278-1837
