Swap is a go!!!!! kinda..., couple questions for 3sgte guys. Options

[bonzaisushi]

so tonight i think i came to terms with my self... its either the BEAMS motor or im going to find a 205 front clip.... couple questions and i searched and couldnt find anything....


1. is there anyone in the midwest that is willing to help a brotha out
2. is a 205 motor in any way more difficult to swap than a 185?
3. i always hear you guys say buy an extra harness and what not... and it makes sense because i will be driving my car till i have every thing ready to go in, id like to do the whole swap in a couple weekends if possible.... even though i will be doing a tranny swap as well.... Id love to have tweak do it but hes far away
4. ive been looking on ebay for a good clip and have yet to find one i think the st205 clip that was up recently was sold or something because im havin a hard time finding it....



I need encouragement, i always back out and i want to follow through with it this time. i think that i will be really happy with my car after im done with this.... so thoughts or questions?

sorry if this seems like a noob post, im not a noob but am when it comes to the whole swaps... ive been online reading swap stuff all day.

thanks alot guys means alot!

1. I dont know
2. the st185 has been done and there are writeups everywhere. Word on the grape vine is that the st205 should be almost plug and play. only a couple of people have done it.
3. I used my original harness. Only took about a week to get mine back from DGperformance.
4. Just keep looking one will pop up. just make sure the company is reliable. I went with Jarcoinc.

Good luck
