Well ladies and gents I'm fairly new but I've had love for 6gens for awhile. I bought a 94 gt coupe and I love it but then I came across a 96 st hatchback automatic for only $200!! I couldn't resist such a wonderful deal, he didn't know what was wrong with it so I bought it and fixed it in 20 minutes lol. He had a fuel pump kill switch that was off lol. I don't lk the coupe but my st doesn't have a sunroof and has a few ding around it. What do yall think I should do? I really want the hatch but is it worth all the trouble of swapping the tranny and engine?

First things first, welcome to the site!
It wouldn't be worth the trouble to switch the engines at all. The general consensus GT motor doesn't have enough power to make the swap worth the trouble you would have to go through. The ST will get better gas mileage than your GT, so the cost to own is cheaper. Plus the new ST might have other unknown issues, where you know all the issues with your GT. Ultimately, the decision is yours about which car you keep. Ideally, you could drive one of the cars daily and turn the other into a project car, but that is an expensive venture. Be sure to post pictures of both cars!  QUOTE (mkernz22 @ Jan 23, 2011 - 3:07 PM)  i forget which engines swap into the ST pretty well, i bet some other members will pitch in their knowledge. That would be the 4A-GE Silvertop, 4A-GE Blacktop, and the supercharged 4A-GZE.
