				SO, I've just come into a pretty decent chunk of money / raise and I want to do this swap. 
			
			
					
		Problem is, I have an ST. How much harder will the swap be on an ST instead of a GT? I've heard from various other car forums around the net that on a GT it can be done in an afternoon. Also, will I need to do any custom fabrication due to the BEAMS Red Top motor I want to buy being JDM? Just looking for general information on this swap, because I really love this motor, I want to push 200hp reliably on my DD  |
