**MartinGouda** · 10-27-2004, 10:21 AM

Do you use the engine mounts off of the 5S-FE or the mounts off of the 3S-GTE?
5sfe

How difficult is the wiring harness to rewire, and why does it not plug directly into the ecu?
very hard

Is it possible to run the wiring harness through the firewall like the old one?
they need to be spliced

If those options do not work, and since I do not have a front clip to look at to rewire it myself. Where is it possible to have this done. Or is it just general knowledge to do it myself?
get teh clip forget the engine

Okay **TRANSMISSION QUESTIONS**

Will the 5S-FE's Transmission hold up if you get a new clutch/flywheel(fidanza/centerforce)
it will hold i and give you better gearing

If not what do you suggest?
you got it right... fidanza/ center force 2+

I've heard that the Camry V6 Tranny and the Solara Tranny both will work. But are they compatible with the equipment in the car? The stickshift, clutch etc?
not worth it...

and is this possible with about 3,000$?
the whole swap...doubtful if it's not a clip

Will I also have to buy a bunch of sensors or should they come with the engine?
no sensors needed if you buy a CLIP!!!
