3sgte or 5sfe? Options

[Raves44]

Well it was raining really bad today and i went through a puddle and lets just say we didnt quite make it. We got the car to run but not so sure how much longer is going to last so i was going to ask some opinions. I would like to swap the engine because eventually i want to do some AutoX in it and was wondering if i should go with the 5sfe and possible boost it later or if i should just go for a 3sgte. it is a 95 st and i have read a lot about swapping a 3sgte into it but not a 5s so just kinda curious on some feedback. thanks guys

I personally don't see the sense in swapping a 5s into an ST... From what I've read, it would be better if you went with a 4a motor since they are great for AutoX and bolt in directly into the ST.

well i see you have an ST so either one of those options is going to require a fair amount of work. Since its not an easy swap you might as well go with the 3S.
