Im looking for some really strong parts to rebuild a 5s-fe. I would like to make it have the capibility of handling a huge amount of hp (upwards of 300+) for later on. does anyone know where i can find a really good, strong set of rods + pistons??? point me in the right direction.

topendperformance.com is good but I think a ge head would do better for your build

thank you for your help my ge do you mean the 3s-gte head?

the 3sge head is the same also, but the 3sge or gte entire motor would be a much better option

i appreciate all of your help. here is my situation: I currently have a 4a-fe in my celica with almost 200,000 miles on it. I was talking to one of my buddies and he told me i could have his old 5s-fe motor, tranz, + electircal. he swaped to a v6. I am on a limited budget. the 5s-fe needs to be rebuilt so, i figure that if i buy a good set of rods + pistons i could make it ready to handle a turbo when and if the time comes. ---now that i know that i can use a 3s-ge head i have a few more questions.

- if i were to switch to the 3s-ge head from a 5s-fe head would i have to upgrade my computer?

-Is the 5s-fe block the same block as the 3s-ge?

-Are there any differences with the cranks from the 3s-ge and 5s-fe? (strength + stroke?)

help me out guyes
