Hey guys im new to 6gc and i have a few questions...
I have been searching for 2-3 weeks on info on the 3sge Beams Red Top Swap into my ST204 5 speed GT and from what i understand everything just drops right in place of the 5sfe (correct me if im wrong). My main concern is wiring! Is the swap plug n play? Or will i need to purchase an engine w/ harnes and ecu? Reason for the swap: I just picked up my st204 for 650$ With 126k Miles minimal rust and a 8/10 body and completly stock but it has a snapped timing belt Reason for choosing 3sge: I want an engine swap that has the power when i need it and the mpg of a N/A engine. -------------------- 1994 ST204- 5sfe Currently being rebuilt 1994 AT200-Awaiting Build |

You will need the engine harness & ECU from a Red Top.
