Found something that some of you might be interested in that has the 3sgte.

Not sure if they still have the parts in stock or not, but i think its a fairly good price for an entire kit.

thsi company is very well known to suck BIG time over on mr2oc.
i wouldnt let them wash my underwear, nevermind build an engine.

i was looking at this for a while. thanks manny for letting me know,

im a little confused at what they offer. it seems like its a "kit" full of parts, but you do your own rebuild?


i would only go with something from chrisk, ats, chicoraceworks if i decide to build up my block

wow good to know - but how bad can they screw up with parts

i was doing some surfing - looking for an all in one kit that way i don't have to search for parts here and there - but if they have the parts available brand new then why not consider it because after all its a do it yourself kit

i'll jump over to mr2oc to take a look at the comments

if you know enough to assembly a whole motor from the ground up, then youll probably want to pick your own parts based on your own research

i would prefer that - but so far the sites that i have seen says that the parts may take 6-8 wks for special order - if i can find some where that may have it available within 1-2 wks than that would be better - reason being is that i want to cut down as much down time as possible - though i will continue to search and contact places

"chrisk, ats, chicoraceworks if i decide to build up my block" -- thanks for the info

you can get a lot of stuff from ebay or ats with minumal wait. why do you need everything so soon?

that's easy to answer - the longer i have to wait for parts to arrive - the longer the downtime - because this is my only car - i would have to walk, catch rides, or waste money on a 2nd car when i could use that money into the swap - though i'm not in any hurry right now - i'm just checking to see what i can get my hands on to purchase cause i'm afraid that other things may come up unexpectedly and i won't have the money then
