[mentat]

How do you know your getting a good 3sgte? My plan is to get all that i need and get my brother to pretty much do it because I don't know what im doing when it comes to this

Is that a good engine?

What about V6 swaps, the engines seem much cheaper. Would they be better than the 3sgte?

this GT4 is insane, can anyone enlighten me on what he has done to make it that nice ?


Bottom line i have to get a better engine for my car its to sweet to be an ST

Well the 3sgte would definately be the easier one to swap because you don't need any custom mounting brackets or anything,they just fit right into our cars. Theres a few people with V6 conversions, but that would take a lot more work and effort, and if your having your brother do the conversion, it'd probably be easier for him, assumiing he knows what he's doing. And I thnk everyone will agree Tufy's GT-4 is pretty sick, but he also did a sh*** load of engine work to get it as fast as it is.

I think I'd just go for the swap and do miinor mods if I were you though.
