My 3rd Gen 3SGTE Swap Thread, It lives!!! Pg8 Options

[presure2]

So as most of ya know, i've had jenns 94 GT setup with a 5sfte for just about 5 years now, and its time to move on.

after going thru all the options we decided on a 3rd gen 3sgte for all the obvious reasons.
_jim_ has been selling 3s motor sets and clips to a few diffrent members here, and is a good friend of mine, so i gave him a call, and discussed my options with him.
he set me up with a great deal on a clip minus body panels ect, since we already have the '4 front end on jenns car.
he delivered it to my house on friday.
we're pretty sure the clip is a 94, it has ~34,000 miles on it (~55,000km) and is in GREAT shape.

some pics of the progress so far.

once we got the hood and bumper off, this is what we had:





it came with a blitz BOV, blitz spark plug wires, and blitz ground kit.





the turbo has virtually NO shaft play, and spins super free and smooth as butter.

this morning i dropped out the 3s, its much easier to just remove the suspension, crossmembers, motor and tranny as one piece out the bottom.

this pic shows how i lifted the clip up over the motor once i dropped it onto a dolly



the motor with the intercooler off out of the clip:





the suspension and crossmember



and chassis tag:



more to come as progress is made.

PM me what you need and a price will, i have everything on the clip except body panels, headlights, and brakes.
obviously all the swap parts are being used..lol

definetly not tearing it down, ill do alot of cleaning up and coating of some sort on lots of parts, and tbelt, but other than that, im only gonna do whats needed. after all, its only got 34,000 miles on it

got the tranny off and the motor on a stand today, the more i take off the more i realize how nice and clean the motor is. what a beautiful thing.

looking up at the block, you can see the oil feed line attched to the block on the right there.

the typical trouble spot for the 3/5s motors, under the dizzy


the blitz spark plug wires, which apparently, they no longer make:


and the blitz BOV, a bit pitted, but it'll look good once its all cleaned up, however, i wont be using it. ( we still like the HKS over the blitz sound)


the steering wheel


the upper timing cover after a quick wipe


this weekend i want to tear into the clip, get everything off it and start cutting it up. FUN!!!
