hey, not sure if this is the right place to post this and sorry if its not, but here goes.
I live in RI and am trying to do an engine swap and cant decide between the Beams, GT4 or a 4age silver or black top. i know theres a couple of people in this forum that live in RI and have awesome cars but i havent been able to get their attention or help so lets see if you guys can. i have a 97 ST limited and so far ive gather that i need new mounts, tranny, possibly exhaust, trans axles, and complete engine for a beams or GT4 swap and ill need an engine if i plan to go with the 4age or am i missing something else also. as far as the wiring goes for the beams engine is it a plug n play if i get a celica st202 front clip? or am i better off getting parts seperately as my project progresses i will continue to post updates, hopefully batman and hurley will help me out. ill also post pics later thanks for help in advance

I want personal experiences that depends on your power goals.. i hate to say this bro but theres alot of research to be done and alot of these answers to these questions are in the stickies.. first step bro.. is pick a tranny, once you pick a tranny then we can help you bc alot of these questions depends on which tranny your going to use. theres certain things you need and dont need for each combo. pick a tranny then we can help lol other wise we will b spinning u in circles and you will get more and more confused and have a hard time with your swap. -------------------- st205 powered ss3 coupe
