Well, how about a 5sge? Anyone have any input upon this subject in which I have put forth at this present time. >> Opps sorry, but .....anyway jus wanted some backround on this hazy subject.

head swaps cost as much as engine swaps

you will need everything from the other engine except for the block pretty much. and that includes the wire harness, sensors, and most likely intake and exhaust manifolds(maybe not the exhaust manifold)

so you would be buying a complete performance engine, and only using parts of it to make an engine that will not be as good that the parts engine you bought

*ssiigghh*
Man I cant do my 3sgte why you ask _Automatic_ , theres one last hope. The 3SGE came in an automatic so I gotta research that now and figure it out.
No I refuse to do a tranny swap- thank you though-. >>

it would be worth it to do the tranny swap

just get the 3s-ge tranny that should hold the 3s-gte power just fine.

Mike (Qatar11) we were talkin one night and he said in plain black and white that the automatic would not work with the 3sgte cant remember why.. but also th e 3sgte ECU was designed for manuals never thought to be an auto.

Web Cams Hardweld (glad you brought that up) know you suppose they send you the new ones and you have to send them your old ones. Cuase Im not looking forward to not having a car for 2 weeks. That would be my favorite mod If I can find a mechanic competent enough to work on them.

Cams are the best thing you can ever do to the 5sfe other that boosting it plain and simple. But,.... in order to get the most out of them you would have to get your head gasket matched bigger valves and such.

Webcams takes your cams and sends you another set then hard welds yours and sells them to the next person. You can however buy cams from them you will just have to pay the extra 200 dollars for the core charge.

Ferra makes valves and springs for the 5sfe but will only sell to a machine shop. They also cost $$$$

If you really want to do the 5sgte/5sge then your adventure should start here........how to put a 3sgte head on a 5sfe
