So i am going to swap out my 5sfe and put in a 3 sgte, but i cant really find awhole lot of difference in 2nd and 3rd gen 3's... So...
Which engine would be a better building block to start from a 2nd gen or a 3rd gen? 3rd gen seems like no brainer but just thought i'd ask. I plan on doing alot of engine work on it while its out of my car, port polish, over boring, new pistons, cams, the works:) Can you trust ebay sellers for this stuff? Because there are alot of motors on ebay for like $1,500 Would a motor from a MR2 or Caldina work also? They say its the same 3sgte, but i dont know... Thanks for helping me understand, if i missed a forum where all this is covered before please re-direct me This post has been edited by Legit94GT: Feb 15, 2008 - 8:09 PM -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2
