This man Speaks the truth. Be careful buying motor sets over the internet. I have sold 5 motors, and a front half cut within the past 2 months, but I have LOOKED at A LOT of them. 80% of the motors I have looked at have something wrong/missing with them. Anything from bad compression, missing pumps, missing heat exchangers, to missing map sensors, WRONG ECU's, and even wrong Generation 3sgtes. Just understand that the chances of you getting a "full" swap over the internet are slim, and buying the required parts to complete the swap are expensive....and the chances of returning an engine after you bought is hard/expensive.

All the motors I sell have everything needed, complete IC systems, all sensors, uncut wiring harnesses, correct ECU's, and tested for compression. If you are interested in a GEN3 3sgte, shoot me a PM for pricing, I also have 3 complete sets of AWD rears in stock if you are contemplating the AWD conversion
