Swap options and cost for a 95 GT convert Options

[m2736185]

I recently purchased a 95 GT convertible, but she has 175k miles on her so I have been thinking about my swap options. I intend to ride her until she stops running and hopefully I get atleast another 25k. I am very interested in the 3SGTE swap, but I hear there will be some need for modification. I am on a $2,000 budget for the swap some added power and turbo would be nice, but if its too much trouble then I proly would just rebuild my engine myself and send out my tranny to be rebuilt.

Personally, I think your engine should be fine for at least another 50k. My engine is up to about 213k and is still running strong. Just don't beat on it that much and do regular maintenance on it, and it should last for a while. Mine has been leaking a tad bit of oil underneath, but it still runs strong. Once I hit 275k or 300k, then I'll look to do a engine and auto to manual swap on it. Just drive it for now and try to keep that engine running (without putting too much money into it) and just save for the swap. You'll definitely need more than $2k for the swap.

Also, if you do get the 3S-GTE, make sure you get the ecu with the engine otherwise you are probably going to have some problems with it..
