This will be a great way to learn about the 3sgte motor. If you have the time and energy to start up a build.. I say go for it.. you will be amazed how much you learn. The key is to not be afraid however. I always say wiring will be time consuming, but is not hard by anymeans.. its just learning something new.. get the information, get the tools needed, and go to war because thats what it WILL be.

If you have a "never say die" mindset this wont be too hard.. But before you buy this Id say take some pictures and find out what things need to be replaced, ask the owner as many questions as possible about anything defective.. Because im pretty sure you will need to buy new things anway, so you might as well find out what exactly you need. Grab some manuals, read 3sgte swap threads, find out the dos and don'ts and turn this thread into a turbo build friend!
