What is this engine? I've just come across it and am interested. I like that it is NOT boosted, right?? I have a 96 GT with the 5SFE. How do I get the 3SGE? Is it a standard swap? What else do I need and exactly what is it again?? I know there is a Gen 3 with 173 hp? Please clue me in...

I want that 3S-GE!! I found one with a 5 spd manual tranny, ECU, and uncut wiring harness. It's supposed to have 47K on it and comes with a 3 month warranty if professionally installed. It's $2,800.00 (that includes the shipping and handling). I'm ready for it but I really need to know if it will directly swap right into my 96 GT without any modifications to get it in. I absolutely DO NOT want a 3sgte at all. No offense to the guys that have em, I guess I'm just "cursed" with turbo engines or something cause I get nothing but sh*t when I have em.

the motor drops right in but the harness has to be modifid. i think.,Things like the ingniter and so on need to be swapped. if you use the stock tranny you need a custom clutch 3s pressure plate, modifed clutch disc.for the s54 tranny. if you use the tranny that come with the 3s . you may need custom drive axles but im not sure about that one.
