St185 is a pig of a car and isnt fast at all. I felt like i was driving a slightly quicker GT. SW20 is much quicker because of its light weight. I had one and enjoyed every second of it. I drove a members 3rd gen 3sgte swapped 6th gen and that thing was pretty quick.

Id recommend a st205 swap if possible. If you have the time and money, wait for the right swap. Otherwise youre going to find things here and there and it adds up fast! Plus, its better to replace parts now when the 3sgte motor is out (gaskets, water pump, belts, plugs, etc, etc). Take your time, dont rush. You want a clean reliable running car! Good luck!
