I was looking at the stickies and the one guy that did the 3sgte swap said it cost him a little below 5000 and he did the swap himself. there is a shop that will source the engine for me and do the swap and everything for 6500 but I kind of want to do it myself.

So MikeE if you could let me in on some info, I would love to do the swap for well under 5,000 if that is what you were implying by 5,000 being a lot.

Yeah I have been reading about the 3sgte swap for some time now and it just sounds more and more appealing everytime I read about it. I think I might just do the swap myself. I didn't realize that the swap could be done for about 5000. I thought misc. costs would send the total price of the swap through the roof. I might e-mail the site I found though about importing the gt4 and I'll let you guys know what they say. Just to give me an idea of how much it would cost.

If I were to import a gt4 would it be right hand drive? Are all gt4's right hand drive. I found a website on the forums here tha specializes in importing jdm cars to the US. However I don't want to drive a right hand drive vehicle. I don't even think it's legal unless it's proven to meet safety standards which would involve crashing the car. So if I were to import one is it possible to import one that isn't right hand drive? Also has anyone ever done this? How much did it run you? What problems did you run into? Thanks.
