3S-GTE Swap, realistically speaking Options

[Fastbird]

How much would I be looking at realistically to do this swap??? I know I can get a 225hp genII motor for about $1500 with wiring harness, tranny, and ECU included. I could probably pull off the engine swap myself as I did a stock for stock swap in my old 89 celica, but I'd probably just pony up the $1300 to Phoenix Performance and have him do everything and get the FMIC too.

So, realistically, just to get a running stock 3S-GTE into the car and driving, would it be far fetched to say that it's doable for under $3000????

I'm not even going to get into modifications at this point. Just don't want (me) to go there. Least not yet.

where ever u get ur motor from, i hope they include afm, ignitor, coil, resistor pack, etc etc. ure also going to need a new fuel pump and a fmic setup since the tmic wont do u any good. and dont forget to put away some cash for misc stuff like plugs, wires, new hoses, crap like that. ur also going to need to take it to an exhaust shop so ur gunna need some cash for that. under $3k i would say is doable only if u do the labor urself...and thats even pushing it. btw i hope u meant u can get the motor for $1.5k shipped...cuz the cost of shipping a motor sucks
