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.

If you have to ask how much it is going to cost then your not ready to do the swap yet.

This isn't a case of window shopping where "if you have to ask you can't afford it." This is a case of trying to line things up. Reason I asked was because I see a lot of what people went through for the swap, but haven't really seen a tally of what it actually costs. Mostly just a bunch of estimates and figures, no real hard numbers. -------------------- |
