Today I ordered my 3mz engine from an 05 Sienna,. with 126k confirmed that he is going to take a blown-up 5f-se as the core so after delivery and core it's $325+ tax. It's getting dropped off tomorrow! As cheap as these motors are I'm considering picking up every blown motor Toyota I see and stuffing a 3mz in it.
Also ordered an ST throttle cable from an ebayer and am browsing today to find the few parts and pieces I still need, to do my swap. Looks like I'm starting the swap this weekend! Suppose I should also order a new digital camera while I'm at it to shoot the photos along the way. Better option than continuing to use my crappy phone. I almost forgot the most important part I've ordered for my whole project was last night!  New Badge |

New Badge Nice price for the engine, im still sourcing parts right now to better the swap, can you PM in the info where you got the engine from? I have a full 97 Avalon I picked for $350 since the whole rear end was crushed but motor only has 135k with a recent tune up |

QUOTE (RoadRage @ Apr 15, 2014 - 5:23 AM) It's an exact match... Well I hope so anyway I got to my local auto parts store and they do paint mixing for $30 a can That 1 can lasted me these 2 risers, but i did mess up 2 coats so.. I say its got a decent amount I imagine dealers would be a completely rip off Still a lot more than $6-7 a can that you grab off a shelf... Then again one can should suffice for what I'm needing to do, I suppose I'll have to look for places locally that mix paint. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

That's alright, I suppose I'll just have to pay through the nose for mixed paint or think of something else clever. So, the muffler I wanted is $42 shipped instead of some $64. Installation won't cost but around $50 or so, and I'll be removing the secondary cat which its scrap price will cover it all. Decisions. It's more or less the same muffler I picked out for my brother's Genesis 2.0T and it admittedly sounds good for a four cylinder.

My short throw kit already arrived! They spent over half of what it sold for on shipping, that's what I call customer service.
 Anyhow, guess what I'm doing this afternoon?
