since you have an ST you'll need the GT motor mounts. You'll want to buy a front clip, unless you can find a complete motor with the parts that usually come in the a clip. You'll have to get your wiring harness done to work with the 3sgte. You'll also need a tranny because your ST tranny won't work. If you've read the stickies cost vary from 3000 to 4000 depending on resources and whos doing the swap.

with the awd tranny that comes with the 3sgte from the gtfours I'm not sure but I think you will have to do some modification to get it to work. You can go out and get the tranny off of a regular GT and it will bolt up. Did you read the stickies yet? It will help you tons.
