If you asking for particulars, we can help with that. For now, it will suffice to say that once the swap is done properly, the car will have more power than stock even before any mods are done to the 3s

if it's simple ? no!
you need good knowledge in mechanics, if you have trouble doing brake jobs, don't do the swap. but if you have good skills and you are ready to not have the car for a while, then yes it can be done.
do a lot of research to know exactly what to expect and find all the parts.
expect about 1500$ for the engine and other components, minimum, but i would say have at least 2000$ ready.
also a friend who works for beer will help a lot.

there will be a good power increase. it fully rebuild a 5sfe and i have to admit im not satisfied with the power. i expected better. so if youre looking for power then go for 3sge. wich can be converted into a 3sgte later.
