no engine in the front sits pretty high. lol

**ProjectD** · 03-03-2010, 01:44 PM

IMHO is sat high with the motor installed. Without the motor it looks like the front end is on jackstands lol.

**jons02gts** · 03-04-2010, 07:51 AM

yeah, it does.

i really think you should make that 3sge work. car looks to be in great shape and you'll have a blast with that motor

**subspec** · 03-04-2010, 07:13 PM

lol thats how mine looks. i even have mine lowered and it looks like a dyslexic muscle car lol

**ProjectD** · 03-04-2010, 07:20 PM

I've been thinking about just completing the swap but I was really looking for a quick fix to get her back on the road. Does anyone know how much an ecu and harness usually sell for? Also where can they be picked up? I'm sure the tranny will be easy to source.

**subspec** · 03-04-2010, 07:21 PM

try talking to klue. he has everything for basicly any motor you would want

Your Stock Tranny would bolt up you just need the wiring harness and ECU.

**ProjectD** · 03-05-2010, 11:04 AM

I have an auto tranny. Is there anything different or special that I need to make it work? My brother said he tried to bolt it on to the new motor and it wouldn't line up

**shredmanant** · 03-20-2010, 10:11 PM

what do you think the shipping would be on something like that all i need is a ballpark answer i am looking to do a swap

Locker · 03-20-2010, 10:25 PM

As far as I know any S series motor will bolt to any S series tranny??

**ProjectD** · 03-21-2010, 01:19 PM

If I had to guess I'd say the shipping is about $175 five or take $50
