gah!!! too much confusion, Engine Swapping.....Shady Venus Options

[Jabberwock]

Venus=SHADY???...............My mechanic thought so too, so he even called to check on their Business License and its super clean with ZERO complaints. Plus they have been only open for business since November 2000.

Anyways I am not gonna get an engine from them now because I don't want no shady business. (mechanic was told 230hp for ST215 3SGTE and no mileage) and for only 2500+500 shipping from Sacramento which is not as far as east coast. 500 SHIPPING is a crap load for in-state shipping

I am not sure what I should do.....I am really scared that my mechanic won't even be able to swap the 3SGTE in to the car, and then I would have an unfinished car.

5sfe turboed sounds a lot easier for him and I was even thinking 4AGZE but venus is shady so......

Also if I go with the 5SFTE I could get a lot of accesories for like 1000-1500 and it would be as good as a 3SGTE, but thats so much more money...Burrien=2500+1500=4000 hmm....it actually sounds good since no labor cost.

Well keep on giving me advice 6GC owners...hehe

lol Ray, you actually did trade in your celica for a Huffy, an 18 speed at that :-P I also spent about 400 some odd dollars in getting a clip down to the LA area, towing it with a rented trailer. Driving the 5 at 55 mph at 4 am is NOT fun. And Venus doesn't neccessarily sell GREAT parts for cheap. They sell whatever they get. They don't know the condition, just where it's from and the mileage. Also, they should know that a 4th gen 3sgte has at least 260 hp, not 230...

Edit: Ray, why is your car taking so freaking long man? The other Ray in Florida got his running in about 6 months (I know, I was there =D).
