yeah i dont really have much knowledge in this. so i would have to get a new wiring harness? wouldnt that come with a front clip? front clips that i see have a 4WD transmission, would it cost extra money to do this? if it does how much do you think it will be? or should i just stay with my transmission for now and do that later? i dunno depends on the money i guess. and what do you think would be a good price for a front clip? and thanks for the info guys

I dont want to be a jerk about this but DO YOUR HOMEWORK. The very first thing you gotta have is determination. If you got that great - now u gotta do homework. This isnt an overnight - look stuff up thing. I started researching the swap in January, and im now doing it. All the questions you have are out there for you to find. Search this forum for questions because theres alot there. Visit MR2 forums - because the MR2 uses the 5sfe and the 3sgte.
Where do you live? If your in Cali - its oging to be tough swapping cuz theyr'e asses out there. Are you going JSpec or USspec? 3rd Gen 3s is going to cost you big time - and its rare. If your doing 3rd gen then just get a clip. 2nd gen is cheaper, more readily available, has alot of potential, has parts in the US, is a direct replacement for the 5s. You cant use a 4wd tranny, u can use a GT tranny as long as u take it real easy, u can use a V6 Camry, or MR2 turbo tranny. The wiring harness depensd on the engine - if u get a front clip you'll have the complete harness, if its USDM then ur good to go, if its JSpec u gotta extend it. U gotta wire the ECU because the 5sfe wont work, that means getting wiring diagrams. I can go on and on - just do alot of research. Do it to your blue in the face, cuz if u dont kno what ur doing mid swap - ur screwed.
