I want to do a 3s-gte swap , i dont have much experience but i am a fast learner ... reearch is really helpful but i still need some questions answered ... also i am not swaping my engine any time soon , i just want to know if i can do it or not so i can try and plan for something else !! me and my friends will do it , they ahe tools , but they work with hondas frown.gif
here is what i still havent figured out :

1- my car is auto and will be swaped to manual , with or before the 3s comes in .... the axles go from the auto to manual tranny and will bolt right on ( or locks in) ...correct ??? also i want the easiest setup to do so i will be using the regular tranny of the Gt , i know some ppl are using it with no trouble whats the code for that thing , i am still confused on it , its s54 ( correct me if i am wrong) and it will bolt right on the 3s-gte with a difference in the flywheel or disc( not a problem now ).... of course i need to buy the correct driver's side engine mount for the Vert with manual trans

2- this is my only car , should is still do it ? how fast can it be done knowing that the wirring will have to be sent away ? if wirring problem is done , can it be done in like a weekend or week ? i use my car alot biggrin.gif

3- if is use a St205 front clip , will my a/c work without modifcation to the wirring ? what if i use a st-185 , will the wirring be set when i have it done by pros ?? this concerns me because the how-to for a/c have no pics and i dont understand whats going on ! and i live in So-Cal where it reasches 100+ in the summer !! rolleyes.gif

4- i also need some tips on forming a list for the parts i need ( beside the clip / tranny ) and where to get them : exhaust ?? fuel pump ? other stuff

5- i have to make it street legal , so how do i getall the emission control systems working to meet california laws ? is it possible ?

6- Wires scare the crap out of me ! so is it possible for the person who will do the wirring harness conversion also prep the wirring for the auto-> manual swap ? is that possible

i am a beginner with this stuff , i am just a college student studying biology ! so i have very weak background and i really hope that the 6gc ppl would help make this swap a reality ! so ai need all the help i can get and there is no better place than here ! so thanks everybody , i will add questions on here and when i do the swap i will put pics and stuff !!
