j-spec 3SGE swappin, need wisdom Options

[crandsberry]

hey guys, aight I have got a '97 GT with the 5sfe
And on a chance occasion, i scored a JDM 3rd gen 3S-GE for under $200

Supposedly the engine was in a car and running as of last year. Unless i pull off the head and find something crazy like a blown head gasket or damaged rings ..right now ill assume it runs great.

So im going to do swap without a front clip, im a starving college kid, i dont mind scrambling for the ST202 parts i need.
The engine has manifolds, alternator, injectors, ALL sensors, and a full UNCUT wire harness w/ fuse block

so
Since the car is LHD, will the harness need to be lengthened?

Im getting a euro spec st202 guage cluster, could i potentially just use a 3SGE ECU out of an mr2?

Suggestions for mods?

thnks

aww well if i cant bring the the P/S pump over from the 5sfe, find the JDM pump is going to be a major pain

The other issue ive got is handling VA emissions
96+ vehicles are subjected to an OBD2 electronic emissions check. That means the 5sfe ECU has to stay in the car, and run the new 3S motor.

This is REALLY important regarding all this research, if anyone could help me on this..

WERE THERE ANY ENGINE OR ELECTRICAL CHANGES BETWEEN 1995 AND 1997 TO THE GT ????




thanks for yalls input thus far, ill be throwing up pictures eventually
