they are basically different mounts, and technically it sounds correct just by looking at the bodies. but i read a long time ago that 5sfe upgrades to 3sge and 7afe upgrades to 4age with more ease, than trying to go from a 7afe to 3sge. correct me if im wrong folks.

thats pretty much the deal.

dont downgrade a gt to an st.

if your looking to buy a chassis based on an engine you want to use, buy an ST if you are going "A" series, GT for "S" series.

"S" series into an "A" series chassis requires drilling 2 holes on the passanger side frame rail, and either cutting a hole, and welding a nut in place, or using threaded rod to go thru the frame rail with nuts on each end.
there are 2 "dimples" in the ST chassis that actually mark the location of where the mount goes, so its just a matter of buying a long drill bit, and making the hole.

converting an GT to an ST is just wrong in so many ways. laugh.gif
