Well its been six years and i'm finally going to hook up my car. Iv'e decided to go with the engine change, well after my engine gasket blew up after i allowed the engine to over heat ...crazy kicking myself for that lol. but hey better things are coming real soon. I'm opting to have the car ready to start June 2 2011, with money to drop the engine and paint the car all at once. Few decisions to make to start;
1: Do i drop the 3sgte or just turbo the 5sfe 2: If i do the swap do I wire it myself or send it out , I mean trust me i can do it if I had the right drawings 3: I'm wishing there is a Auto tranny that could take the power of a turbocharged engine....... so do i just put in a manual 4: Should I drop the engine in myself???? Question questions questions............. Well i'm going to start by posting pics of the ride from start to finish So what you guy's think? post all you want help me out. please This post has been edited by timdog1720: Aug 15, 2011 - 5:52 PM -------------------- Always fast and going for the look......

if you dont want to do a manual swap and you want an automatic keep it.. auto trans are stronger then most people think. i was just in a 3 week auto trans clas and we took a chrysler minivan trans and put 350hp through it, on our dyno. had no problems. the weekest part of an auto trans is the driver its self. gl with the project!
