I have a chance to buy a 3S-GTE engine for about 500 bucks (a buddy of mine owns a garage and got a car with it in that was hit in the back end.. heh)

Now, I have a 97 ST, how much more will it cost me not including garage costs ( said buddy will help me out with putting in it)

Thanks!

A 93 MR2 Turbo. It was smashed in the rear end.. And is a mess from the front seat back.. No damage that we can see to the front end.. Got slammed by (oddly enough) a tow truck.. lol. He got the entire car for like 2 grand.. And will sell me the engine/tranny and anything else I need for the swap for 500-700 bucks (depending if I need to strip the entire engine out) he's taking everything that I don't need and selling it on ebay.. lol

oh yea, I also can get a 3S-GE for like 250 bucks.. If this one would be cheaper and easier to put in. I can "Settle" for only 175hp smile.gif This is my first project of anything this size, and I'd like it to be as easy as uncomplicated as possible.. lol
