Is it true?

Can you put an 89 3sge head on an 88 fe block? What problems would I run into, and how much should I expect to pay for the 3sge head? Thank you for reading and for any help you have to offer.

[Tommy]

it can be done, but not without more work than its worth. for the amount of work, you might as well swap the whole engine over. Expect to pay $1200+ for a good engine and harness and all the other stuff you need.

Why? They're both 2.0L. You don't gain anything. It'll cost as much if not more then a swap. You'll have low compression with the 3S-FE piston.

Pretty much what they said. It can be done but a waste of time and money. You'll end up with less power than a stock 3sge. You're probably better off just taking your head to a machine shop.

Thanks folks. I don't have big build up plans for my GT, but I found a wrecked GTS. The exhaust looked impresive and the price was right, so I grabed it. I was just wondering what else I should grab while the gettin is good. I bought my GT for the fuel economy, but it's just begging to be some kind of sports car.

grab the manifold/downpipe and slap it on there, good for a few hp+

[ronesgt]

Those Toyota folks are clever. So that intake from the 3sge will bolt up to a 3sfe? Will I need diferent injectors?

[Tommy]

yikes- no manifold and downpipe as in the exhaust manifold and down pipe.

[ronesgt]

I changed it already. That was the first thing I grabed.
