Poorman's 3S swap, 1st Gen 3S into a Undeserving 95 ST Options

[ZGear]

Hello, my name is Ger aka ZGear from the Mid-West. Haven't really responded to this forum in all the years I've joined. Though I have supported this site in Minnesota with my 6gc passion.

My initial plans were to save up and buy a blacktop 4a, but in doing so I managed to come across a good deal on a 1st gen 3sgte locally. Whole motor without tranny and a few extra parts for a shiny nickel.

My car, stock as ever for about 5 years.



Then an exterior renovation in 2007



Also an engine face lift



This is how she sat for half a year with a case of bad crank bearing.

Now for the good stuff:

Sorry, wasn't able to do the signature Dr. Tweak pose..... , but it is shiny!

What will be going in........ Da Da Dum Dum



1st Gen 3sgte with a TRD low comp head gasket. Comes with a 6GC converted harness for a GT, now all I need is motor mounts, tranny, intercooler, bov, downpipe, seals, etc......

This will be my first turbo motor and a good learning experience before I play with the big boys. I'll try to update along with the progression.
