    Another motor question

    Since the 3sgte already requires motor mounts and a bunch of other modifications to get it in a 93-97. Would it be the same amount of work to swap a sr20det? i know there are alot of things to go into putting both motors in, but would one be even more than the other?

    and what tranny would you use.... how would you route the linkage? what axles? what harness and ecm?

    there is just so much more to this than engine codes.....

    So you're basically saying, it'd be way more work to put a sr20det, than a 3sgte, or are you just saying that both would be the same amount of work, but way more than I'm thinking?

    just a ton of work.... its all good if you have the resources abounding.... like a second or third vehicle, and lots of money to spend

    im not bashing the idea, its just a tough thing to pull off..... itll require a lot of custom work

    If you could put a SR20 into this:

    I know there alot of talk of the 3sgte on this forum already, but is there a parts list floating around? or a website dedicated to the swap or motor in specific?
