i need to know for something:
for the people with st204s, or other 5s motors stock, how much did ur 3s swap cost u?
out the door, dont really need details unless important like if u changed internals or rebuilt it before install.

assuming this is what u did:
a good used motor with low miles.
E153 tranny
basic intercooler and bov
and ofcourse wiring and ecu.



how much did it cost u ~

I'd say... 3,600 give or take.
CP pistons, eagle rods, re-machined head/block, ONLY ARP hardware and Cometic gaskets, new parts galore, uprated alternator, stage 2 clutch kit w/light flywheel
machine work done by shop, and another shop found idle issue (cost me nearly a grand). swap done by myself and friends w/basic tools and a lot of garage space.

have lots of left over parts too.
