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!

Well screw that then.. hehe. ok, Since I have a lowely 97 ST (Ann Edition.. oooOoo) any suggestions for pumpin up the power a bit? And ones won't cost more then the car did smile.gif

Other then intake and exaust.. smile.gif

Thanks!

really, the st isnt that great of an engine to try an build up, but if you dont thinkyou'll ever dot he swap, ou can look into getting complete cai, header's cat back exhaust.. an then underdrive pully's lightened fly wheel, then maybe a programable computer, but by then spending all that money you might as well buy a engine swap.... one reason that every one does it or whats to, these cars are not like hondas, its hard to find many aftermarket products for them... hope that might help some
