I had an 86 GTS with the 3SGE engine and my son has a 96 Vert with the 5SFE. I want to say that the older one had 135 HP as does the newer one. Can anyone give me an informed description about whether the technology of the late engine is better? If you were going to replace the motor which one would you choose?

Both are f*ckin sh*t.
Any chance of getting a newer 3sge? the one in question here Gen1 3SGE from an ST162 is ancient and would require a full rebuild, machining, headwork+ecu/tune to be anygood At that cost, you may aswell look at the best option right from the start - Gen4 ST215 3SGTE block&intake manifold, forged 3S pistons, forged 3S rods, Gen3 ST205 3SGTE head (why? C.o.P is rubbish), ECU & tune All depends on what the goals are with the motor, for a drop-in and be done with it swap a 16 year old 5sfe will probably be better than a tired old 26 year old 3sge... -------------------- Mike W
