Has anybody here attempted to match the 5SFE bottom end with a 3SGTE head. I found this link some guys building one.

You should check your info a bit first... First off... pretty hard. Gonna have to find some parts. Gotta find some low-comp 5SFE pistons, possibly rods, etc. Gotta use the correct generation 5SFE block, which is 92+ or 94+ or something like that. Water passages are different. Can't use the ST165 or any 3SG flywheel cause they're held on with 8 bolts as opposed to the 5SFE with 6... don't drill anything... Same basic process as a 3SGTE swap... you'll need a 3SGTE engine harness, all associated sensors, coil/ignitor, etc... and finally... the 5S block and crank are more than likely NOT stronger than the 3SGTE crank. Would make a pretty mean torque engine... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
