The Blacktop is mounted longitudinally for a RWD setup, so everything bolted to it is different as well. You'd need to buy a Redtop or Greytop to kill for parts in order to make a Blacktop work in a transverse setup. Apart from that, it's 11.5:1 compression as opposed to the Redtop's 11.0:1 and has dual VVT-i, and its rated at 207 hp instead of 197 hp. It's q lot of extra work, headache, and cost for 10 measly hp. It's been done though.

i think he was refering to the greytop. rav4
Reading pwns me.
In that case, the Greytop has a catalytic converter built into the header, different wiring harness, and has a lame auto AWD trans bolted to it. Those are the only differences. The auto ECU runs just fine with a manual trans and has no ill effects. Replacing the header gets the Greytop up to Redtop specs. The wiring harness is totally different and is best left up to a pro, unless you happen to be good at wiring.

It's just a out and in swap right? There's a guy on Facebook who said u gotta cut and weld the new motor mounts. Don't know if it's true or not. But how much do u charge for the swap mi645?
You only need to weld motor mounts for a V6 swap. The BEAMS uses all of the same GT mounts, and the ST will need holes drilled in the passenger side frame for that mount. There's a little bit of wiring to be done but it's easy to do yourself, then its a direct replacement in a GT.

actually you dont have to modify anything if you get your hands on the GT lines with the reservoir.
