Hey, guys. Right now I have a 1997 ST with 7a-fe, auto transmission. I want to do a complete conversion to a 3s-gte, manual transmission. I was wondering if anyone has a 3s-gte motor that they are trying to sell or if they know of a place that i can get one. Thanks guys!

Maybe I should make myself more clear. I'm not attacking Ron's business or integrity or anything like that. I'm sure Ron your a great guy with a great business. What I'm saying stems from the statement which could have been misinterpreted from Blaque when he said "just throw a 4agze in" like it was nothing. My point is that the 4agze and the 6gc are a combination not well documented and only recently talked about. Advising someone to go the 4agze route simply due to its bolt on application, in my opinion, is not beneficial towards the swapper, especially someone new to it.
I'm not against it, I'm not against 4agzes at all - my problem was simply that 1/2 of the process was address, the mechanical. Just because its bolt-on, doesnt make it a better idea or an easier idea than a 3s, in fact the reason the 3s is a more common engine swap is because of its been done and because its been written down. And thats it I dont want this getting more personal when its unnecessary. Blaque, if your going to swap out the tranny (which is necessary on a 3s into ST) then thats 1/2 the work in the ST conversion. The other is motor mounts which you will need to get from a GT. After that its about the same as a GT swap. The wiring will be a little different. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Feb 8, 2005 - 8:42 PM -------------------- |
