im sure this has been covered before, and i know why a clip would be a much better idea for the st185 swap, but what about the st205? i just started thinking and wondering if it really would be beneficial to get the whole clip as opposed to a complete engine set

Getting a clip still applies to the st205 for conviniance purposes. If you plan on using the mr2 tranny, than you need to use the rear mount off the st205 which would be really hard to get elsewhere. then theres misc. sensors, or hoses, especially if you plan on keeping power steering ( i would recomend cause its not that hard to install). You'll alway end up missing something with just the engine set. Good luck!

benefit of clip:
no cut harness
no missing sensors
no unplugged vac, fuel, or harness connections that dont know where they go
you can lable everything before you unplug it
you can take pics, so you know where what goes
lots of extra nuts and bolts
lots of misc stuff you can sell
etc
etc
etc
if this is your first swap, save yourself the headaches and downtime, and just get a clip.

how much did you get your clip for, ive been seeing them lately run about 4-5k bucks, for some reason i always thought they ran about 2500-3500
