Hey guys im new to 6gc and i have a few questions...
I have been searching for 2-3 weeks on info on the 3sge Beams Red Top Swap into my ST204 5 speed GT and from what i understand everything just drops right in place of the 5sfe (correct me if im wrong). My main concern is wiring! Is the swap plug n play? Or will i need to purchase an engine w/ harnes and ecu? Reason for the swap: I just picked up my st204 for 650$ With 126k Miles minimal rust and a 8/10 body and completly stock but it has a snapped timing belt Reason for choosing 3sge: I want an engine swap that has the power when i need it and the mpg of a N/A engine. -------------------- 1994 ST204- 5sfe Currently being rebuilt 1994 AT200-Awaiting Build |

QUOTE (Batman722 @ Nov 28, 2014 - 8:40 PM)  Was your car a standard or auto ? The engine came with a manual trans with LSD. QUOTE (richee3 @ Nov 28, 2014 - 8:59 PM) I got your PM, but I just now have some time to respond. Can you post pictures of your plug? You mentioned in the PM that my picture had several wires, but your plug only has a few. The harness I snapped a picture of was from an auto trans, so it had some extra wires that a manual trans harness doesn't have. Both harness should have the black/yellow wire in the same spot though. However, if your BEAMS harness came on an auto trans, there's one extra step necessary before the car will crank. If the harness is from a manual trans, it should be as simple as moving the wire. Heres the plug off my 3sge motor. Theres the black wire in pin 18. its black but no yellow stripe |
