Hi,
My kid has a 1994 ST with the Fed. Can., 7A FE engine. I have the chance to put an engine from a 1993 GT-S 5SFE into his car. He spun a bearing and seized the engine. His car is a manual and the GT-S is an auto. The 93 GTS is a complete running car so I will have all the parts from it while doing the swap. We also have the help of an experienced mechanic. My question is there any issues with this swap? Thanks, |

You would have to buy 6th gen GT motor mounts, Drill the frame for the pass side mount, get a 6th gen GT wiring harness or rewire your st one (pain), and probably have to redo your AC lines, as well as purchase a manual trans (your 7afe one wont work) and get manual gt axels.
So yeah, Its possible, but there are a few things that probably make it not worth while. That same time/money would be better spent on a 3sgte swap (depending on how old your kid is) or just swap in another 7afe.
