How much work is this swap and will it bolt right up to my tranny and engine harness?? I recently blew my 5SFE and i need a motor and have one of theses available.

PLEase help me!

It'll drop in, the wiring is different and the tranny will bolt up. Its only rated at 130HP and has less torque than the 5S, so I wouldn't reccommend it, but thats just me.

i'd recommend the 3SGE over the 5SFE. so what if it has less hp and less torque? its got more potential. its actually a performance oriented motor, not a gas-economy grocery getter motor. much much better head.

itll drop in, might need to make minor modifications to the mounts, split a few wires.. not too hard.
