I will be buying a 3sgte for my three swap coming up soon here once i get some things straightened out...
So if i were to buy a caldina 3sgte would that still be direct bolt on to my GT tranny/ engine mounts? Obviously the caldina has more power "out of the box" over a 3rd gen 3sgte but i am wondering why more people havent swapped in a caldina 4th gen 3sgte? Would the caldina motor be a better block to run if i did alot of engine work on it? ie: is it a stronger block? thanks for your help guys, i got the shop i am going to use to do the swap for me(i know ya'll think i should do it myself, but i hate working on cars  ) so i will let them deal with it, i'll just sit back and watch  So basically they are waiting for me to order the block, but i am not in a real hurry here i want to make sure i get the right motor, for right now, and for years from now... thanks for all your help guys, ya'll rock -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2

QUOTE The things that need heavy custom work is the ECU/wiring harness, ignition component (because of coil-on-plug). In my case, I used a Megasquirt II ECU with Ford EDIS wastespark ignition system and everything works nicely. Wait...what? You didnt have megasquirt. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
