3S AW11 conversion: few detail

[mullett]

Just working out parts and stuff for my AW11 3S-GTE conversion, there's a motor in Adelaide, last of the Gen2s, 110-kms, hiflow turbo, chipped ECU and maybe some other fruit. $2400, no box.
First question: Is this worth it?
2nd question: If i get a 3S NA box, can I strip it and apply the bellhousing to my GZE e-series box?

Guys...I'm getting serious about this, someone should talk me out of it...

Whether the engine is worth it is up to you.

No you can't swap "bell housings" from an S54 to an E51..

I wouldn't contemplate doing the conversion without an SW20 half cut unless the engine was free.

Yeah, fair enough. I've heard different reports about that from different people. I think a halfcut is the best bet, but it's a problem over here because the freight difference is about $500 between an engine package and a front cut. Still, that was a pricey engine. Might shop around, as the ToyMods sponsors

Cheers, RM.

Ask CLG, he probably has a half cut sitting around in his garage as a spare... or knows someone who's sisters cousins boyfriend has one lying around.

CLG? Who is he and how do I get in touch?

Cheers, RM.
