3sge engines, just wondering? Options

[qmoney10457]

Hey, I was just wondering how much hp does the 3sge engines come stock(not the "Beams" engines but the ones found in the early SSII's)? I'm just asking because I seen one for sale and I was just curious how fast they were. Thanx.

Thanks BLADDER_MASTER for a great reply. I totally agree with what you said about N/A being better suited for FWD platforms though, I've been in and driven several really sweet N/A setups and I think i prefer that sort of motor over a turbo in a FWD. AWD tends to lend itself very well to the power output of a turbo and FWD to N/A for sure.

I appreciate all your help though, and I might be seriously looking into getting my hands on a 3rd gen 3SGE soon. Do you mind me asking how much you spent on your motor?

$650 to get the motor with everything needed to do the swap. That included engine, tranny, ecu, full un-cut wiring harness, and the extra accessories (a/c compressor, alternator, ps pump, etc.). Even though I paid that much by winning a bid on eBay, I looked around and I saw other 3S-GE's going around the same price range. One of these days I'll try to pass by the place I got my engine from and ask them how much he sells 3rd gen 3S-GE's for.
