WTB: 3s or BEAMs, lol just curious whats out there. Options

[JuMPiiN]

So im pretty sure my 2.2 just crapped out on me, and im looking into getting a 2nd or 3rd gen 3s or a BEAMs. And hopefully just using my stock tranny with a upgraded clutch and flywheel. So if anyone could tell me who to talk to about doing the swap and so on please let me know, and i would like to get my hands on one with the uncut wiring harness please. Thanks in advance for any help i get. And im looking to do this asap i have the money saved up to do so, and this is my daily so im looking to get it back on the road as soo as possible, so i figure if im going to have to put another engine in why not put in a 3s.or a BEAMs. AS if someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

A lot of the things you're concerned about with the 3S are the same that Cam (ted95) was, he also thought he wanted a beams. He drove our Beams and Dustin's 3S and now he owns a 3rd gen 3S.

There are fans of the Beams, I love our Beams. But those that have a Beams motor usually know they want it and its not for power goals at all. The third gen 3S definitely has more power, in that respect you get a whole lot more power and ability to expand for your money. But I do disagree that the Beams is a "waste of money" and I disagree that the 3rd gen 3S is a "better motor" because once you've had the chance to get close and see how the Beams works, its actually a very interesting and much more advanced motor overall. But very little room to expand with the Beams, it is what it is.
