My 3rd Gen 3SGTE Swap Thread, It lives!!! Pg8 Options

[presure2]

So as most of ya know, i've had jenns 94 GT setup with a 5sfte for just about 5 years now, and its time to move on.

after going thru all the options we decided on a 3rd gen 3sgte for all the obvious reasons.
_jim_ has been selling 3s motor sets and clips to a few diffrent members here, and is a good friend of mine, so i gave him a call, and discussed my options with him.
he set me up with a great deal on a clip minus body panels ect, since we already have the '4 front end on jenns car.
he delivered it to my house on friday.
we're pretty sure the clip is a 94, it has ~34,000 miles on it (~55,000km) and is in GREAT shape.

some pics of the progress so far.

once we got the hood and bumper off, this is what we had:





it came with a blitz BOV, blitz spark plug wires, and blitz ground kit.





the turbo has virtually NO shaft play, and spins super free and smooth as butter.

this morning i dropped out the 3s, its much easier to just remove the suspension, crossmembers, motor and tranny as one piece out the bottom.

this pic shows how i lifted the clip up over the motor once i dropped it onto a dolly



the motor with the intercooler off out of the clip:





the suspension and crossmember



and chassis tag:



more to come as progress is made.
