So I am contemplating on doing a 3S-GTE swap as there is a local importer that has a couple of them (2nd, 3rd, 4th)
From all of the experienced members here, what would be the best choice for a 3sgte swap? Local importer quoted $2,100 for a 3rd gen 3S-GTE with everything including harness and ECU. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

3rd gen from an st205 is what you want, if you want to have a pain free swap. You also have to remember that there is more money involved than just the cost of the engine. You want to have around 3-4k in hand before you start buying an engine. Things like exhaust work, misc gaskets, fluids, clutch, broken parts, tools you never knew you needed...quickly add up.
Stay away from the mr2 engines. While they are technically the same, you are asking for a headache as the wiring harness is totally different along with a bunch of misc brackets and things. Read the stickies and do some searching. This info has been covered a lot of times before on this forum. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
