Can someone give me info on 1st gen 3sgte swaps into my 86 gt-s? price? labor? where to get a good gte, what i will need to modify, will i need a new tranny? etc
price depends on what deal on an engine you find, anywhere from $100.00 - $1,400. your s53 trannie will work fine, you will need to swap the belhousing, or run a camry or mr2 trannie. as for labour, do it yourself, trust me its easier than you think. just do your research and acquire all your parts first. many have done gte swaps, heres some links to help viewtopic.php?f=34&t=3302 viewtopic.php?f=34&t=3426 viewtopic.php?f=34&t=3201 viewtopic.php?f=34&t=3201 viewforum.php?f=55
you'll need a harness for one. good luck finding one. there are no more new gen 1 or gen 2 harnesses in the world. i own the last gen 1 and a friend, tim, owns the last 185 one. first thing to do - find a harness.
dr tweak is working on making new ones. won't be cheap but will be garenteed and with a car this old, it'll be worth it.
