Problems with the 3s-gte!?!?, WHAT IS TO BE EXPECTED AFTER A SWAP??? Options

[EuroFire03]

Okay so i've read and read about the 3s-gte in the stickies and it sounds like an amazing motor! I was thinking that it would be nice if people could post up how their engines have been running after the swap has BEEN DONE CORRECTLY. I know most people don't know how much mileage the engine has so what things typically go wrong with it and how big of an investment is a swap in real life. (I'm saving for the swap right now so hopefully I'll join this list eventually)



THANKS FOR THE INPUT EVERYONE!!!!

i did it myself in my garage when my schedule permited so it took me about a year, i didnt do a full rebuild on my motor cuz i couldnt afford it but i did replace all seals and tear the motor down to the block to check it all out. i was told my motor had 28,000 miles on it when i bought it. i just got her runin solid about a week and a half ago and have yet to encounter any problems but im still early in the experimenting stage. total cost for the swap for me was about 3,000 or so but i also did the auto to manual swap and put some other performance parts on.
