Yep I second that! It sure won't be easy....allot easier to just strap on a turbo or jsrc. Or just by a car with the swap done already :P

What do u guys think of this. I can get the engine for about $2000, the transmission for about $1000 and the job i already spoke w/a guy an he charges me $500 for it... so it isn't that bad, i don't have the money to get an svt... they'r too expensive bro.... What else do i need to change if i do the conversion...? also if any one knows the guy that did it give me his e mail.... i want to ask him some question if he does not mind. Thanks guys

Eddie. ;)

boost til'bust would probably be able to help you out with a lot of details since I believe he did it himself.. but you'll want to make sure the engine you buy includes the ECU and all that junk.

And you'll have to find out if you'll be able to use the stock ZX3 gauge cluster with the SVT computer.. you might have to (or want to) swap in the SVT gauges and auxilary oil gauges.
