Maybe New Motor, Advice Needed, Finally had a problem: Update Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Well, I have been problem free since I bought my car back in early 03. I guess I'm about due because of all the racing I do. I don't race a ton, but I do run my car hard a lot. I've noticed my car is now eating radiator fuild, and what's there is brown. And, I'm leaking more oil than I was, even after replacing the gasket at the camshaft, and the valve cover gasket. I really don't want to put another 5sfe in there. I was rather a 4age, 3sge, or 3sgte. Those are my choices, and in that order. What ever I find, and is most cost affective, I might put in. I might end up putting another 5sfe, or just replacing the head gasket. But I really don't want to do that. I have no time to mess with it, so I'm worried that I might stay with this POS 5sfe.

EDIT: Update in new post.

Well, I talked to my uncle and dad today. It looks like the V6 is looking like the best for me right now. I know I can get one from a junk yard and get parts from the local Advanced instead of having to go for the dealing for everything like I would with a 3sge. Tweak, I am going to need your help on the wiring. I'm trying to get everything lined up right now. You know, I never really thought I would swap the V6 in my car. But I just hate this 5sfe, and the V6 is the most fesable at this point.

EDIT: Just wanted to add that I'm home at my parents right now, so I won't be on line much. I'll be back next week and I'll be getting really serious about this project then. I'm going to have to do a ton of research.
