Swap options and cost for a 95 GT convert Options

[m2736185]

I recently purchased a 95 GT convertible, but she has 175k miles on her so I have been thinking about my swap options. I intend to ride her until she stops running and hopefully I get atleast another 25k. I am very interested in the 3SGTE swap, but I hear there will be some need for modification. I am on a $2,000 budget for the swap some added power and turbo would be nice, but if its too much trouble then I proly would just rebuild my engine myself and send out my tranny to be rebuilt.

engines must be expensive over there as $2k or £1400 would be plenty to do the swap to a 3sgte here, but then i suppose gt4 engines are more available here>??

2K isn't even enough for a gen3 3s.

And you can convert your awd tranny to work I read it on a thread somewhere, and you can use your old tranny and upgrade the clutch and you should be okay unless your looking for like 400+ HP. if that's the case you can get the mr2 LSD tranny with a hybrid clutch, or you can use the rare camry v6 tranny. And if I'm not mistaken you have to wire the new harness with the old or send it off and get it wired to plug and play.

All in all I think that it cost like around 5K or more to do it right from everyone I've talked to and all the threads i've read. Some of the more knowlegeble members can tune in and correct me if I'm wrong.
