WTB: 3s or BEAMs, lol just curious whats out there. Options

[JuMPiiN]

So im pretty sure my 2.2 just crapped out on me, and im looking into getting a 2nd or 3rd gen 3s or a BEAMs. And hopefully just using my stock tranny with a upgraded clutch and flywheel. So if anyone could tell me who to talk to about doing the swap and so on please let me know, and i would like to get my hands on one with the uncut wiring harness please. Thanks in advance for any help i get. And im looking to do this asap i have the money saved up to do so, and this is my daily so im looking to get it back on the road as soo as possible, so i figure if im going to have to put another engine in why not put in a 3s.or a BEAMs. AS if someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Personally, I think think the beams is a waste of money for what you get...but I know there are fans of this engine around here so I will keep it at that.

For around the same price you can swap to a GEN3 3sgte. Same amount of work, basically the same money as a beams, but much better HP, and IMO MUCH better motor...dollar for dollar.

I can get you a GEN3 3sgte with complete W2A IC system for 2200 with free shipping to your door.

Or I can do a GEN3 3sgte without the factory W2A IC system (Perfect if you want to go with a front mount intercooler) for 1800 with free shipping to your door.

So this motor is 1500 with another $200 in shipping fees, so you are at 1700 already. See what I mean that for the same amount of money you can get the GEN3 3sgte swap...which is clearly the better of the two motors.

Let me know if you are interested.
