The two BEAMS motors (redtop/blacktop) are very different in terms of wiring...

I'm curious to ask... aside from those who have done swaps... what makes you think it's easy to do a swap? Who cares if it's 5SFE to 3SGTE or 7AFE to 3SGTE? By the time you get all of the stuff apart, it doesn't matter. One just requires a few more parts than the other, which doesn't make one swap vastly harder than the other. It'll just take a few extra parts. No biggie. Once the engine bay is clear, both platforms are of the same difficulty assuming you have all of the parts needed.

As for the BEAMS... it's a completely different ball-game than a 3SGTE. DLI wiring, VVTi wiring, DLI set-up, completely re-pinned harness... it's gonna be a chore to go through all of the wires, for those that assume engine swaps are simple drop-ins.
