3sgte questions, Noob needs info Options

[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

Ok so what i've got from this so far is,

Make sure to get a front clip.
2nd gen is easier to find , and so are the parts , plus its cheaper.
3rd gen is more HP and easier wiring.

The 3rd gen sounds more like what I want based on HP and the fact it's newer.
If I did get a 3rd gen front clip im guessing I would have almost all of what i needed ?
Other than front drive shafts?
Im probably missing a ton of things here but im a noob please have patience.

I'd like to know the difference in price comparison between the two, just for curiosity sake.

Now for the Jarcoinc site tip , thanks.
So they have no inventory on the site , I have to call them and inquire about their 3sgte inventory ?

The fact that I know very little about engines etc makes this step a hard one. All I really know is I want a good 3sgte in my car asap , lol. But I do realize based on what i've read on this forum that this procedure could take a nice amount of time in gathering the stuff I need.

Again thanks to everyone giving me advice on this very difficult project!
