I know that a very easy way to swap the 3s is to get an MR2 clip...however...it is a bit more expensive than buying just the engine with the transmission, ecu, and wiring harness.....however i have read that you will be missing parts if you do it like that...since it would be easier for me moneywise to get the engine and etc. i was wondering if anyone has done this and what they would be missing...i know on the stickies the guy that swapped a 3s into his 1997 gave a list of a few things that you would be missing...anyone have anything to say about what he said....or any comments about what i should do?

The best route IMO would be to go with a 94+ st205 swap. Just because it's cheaper and is rated the same power. I would rather go for a 97+ Solara/Camry transmission. It is already made for FWD, ready available everywhere, is a newer version of the E153 transmisson, triple syncro, and is optional to install LSD if wanted. Or stick with your s54 and swap a s51 5th gear set from a 94+ Solara/Camry and cruise 70mph at 3100rpm.
