[B] Iam swapping a 7A-FE for a 3SGE, i have swapped engines before but i really looking for anyone with any info on possible problems i might face,
I have both cars however the GT has had a little introduction to a Tree on its left side so i want to move the engine into my newer ST as i love the 177BHP performance and the ST is little sluggish but it does look the muts nuts see pics.

if anyone can help even with the slightest knowledge I would really appreciate it as it seams you guys really know your ****!!!

Well sence you have a doner car. Your pretty much going to take everything from the gt. Your going to need to pull the engine, tranny, mounts and all wiring. The biggist problem is wiring, but sence you have it all there to compare to you should be fine.

Its going to be like any norm engine swap, just with wiring.

Like doug said... it'll be pretty straight foreward since you have a donor car. All you really need to do with the wires is swap them over. Hopefully the dash harnesses detach from the body harness (front lights, fuses, relays, etc and rear) and you basically swap those. At the worst, you'll need to swap all of the wiring. That'll be much easier than cutting and splicing.
