    Honestly, that swap is a pain in the ass and has been for the past 2 years. I had a shop do it who I wont name because it was going to be for a "hell of a deal." Which ended up not being a hell of a deal and my car being their for over a year. I'd recommend if you wanted a shop to do it, to research them and make sure they have experience with a gen III 3sgte, and not a usdm or jdm gen II. The motors are different, wiring, and all sorts of stupid crap.

    Not to mention the motor set is crazy expensive.

    But good luck if you decide to do it.
