Long time reader, first time poster.
The situation: Got a 1995 GT-S(Canada) with a 5S-FE engine in it and was looking to swap it out for a 3S-GTE(ST205) The question: What would need to be changed/added/purchased in order to do this smoothly? I've read the sticky on the feasible swaps, and I took note to the fact that it is a drop in swap, however, in discussing with a friend of mine, he told me that because it's a JDM motor going into a North American car, the steering may need to be modified/changed. Is this true? Any and all help is appreciated

It's pretty straight forward to be honest. the 5S and 3S are both S-series motors, therefor, are extremely easy to swap out for one another. You can use your existing motor mounts, transmission, shift linkage, axles, A/C compressor, A/C lines, P/S lines. You'll need your harness converted to work in the USDM Chassis, (PM me for details on that) but aside from that, if you know what a wrench is, this is a very feasible swap for you.
and smack your friend for the "steering changes" comment. -------------------- www.tweakdperformance.com
