will a 5sfe head gasket and head bolts fit the 3sge head? Buying a motor that has a 5sfe block with a 3sge head

They should fit fine. Just check and make sure that ALL the water passages line up. If they don't, just modify the HG so they do.

5S block + 3SGE head is a nice combo for a NA car.

awesome! been needing to put a motor in my mr2 for almost a year now, and found some guy who's selling me his 3sge head and 5sfe block for 200 together, but first i wanna check it out

Ghostyman · 03-09-2009, 04:29 PM

Cool. Good luck with it. Post pics if you get it.

DjJester88 · 03-09-2009, 05:16 PM

So exactly why is the 3s head n 5s block a good combo? I heard the 5s block is good for torque

Ghostyman · 03-09-2009, 05:26 PM

That's pretty much it. The 5S block is .2 liters bigger than the 3S block so you get more torque.

I checked out the motor a 2 days ago, was in really good shape, picked it up yesterday, and now its here!!!! I also got a set of 3sgte cam shafts for free

but I want to sell them since I won't be needing them. I'll post up pics soon of the motor! its a real Frankenstein the valve covers are green

Ghostyman · 03-11-2009, 02:49 PM

Cool, looking forward to the pictures.

Too bad those extra camshafts are 3SGTE. I could use a set of 3SGE cams so if you come across any for sale cheaply, let me know.

ch-ch-check it out!!!

Is that 2 FPR's ?

DjJester88 · 03-12-2009, 02:32 AM

Not to look dumb, but what is that...?

***MR2Jedi*** · 03-12-2009, 11:11 AM

FPR = Fuel Pressure Regulator.
Looks like theres 2 on the fuel rail..

DjJester88 · 03-12-2009, 03:00 PM

I guess there is, is that bad?

DjJester88 · 03-13-2009, 09:10 PM

Will the horsepower be the same with the 3sge head? How much more torque will it gain?

DjJester88 · 03-14-2009, 05:18 AM

Which transmission would be better for my swap? My stock 5s tranny, or should I upgrade it to a 3sgte transmission? and since I have 3sgte cam shafts will that be better than the 3sge ones?
