You say the 5sfe block is stronger, I'll counter that by saying the 3sgte is better engineered.

The blocks are fairly similar except for casting differences and bore diameter.  I don't see how either could be said to be better engineered.

IIRC the 3sgte has bigger diameter bolts and better lubrication of the internals.

I think the only bolts that are different are the rod bolts, and I'm using 3S-GTE Eagle rods with ARP bolts so it won't matter.  The main bolts are the same size, as are the head bolts. 

The 3S-GTE has oil squirters under the pistons.  The 5S-FE does not.

Gaffer tape is like "the force" - it has a light side, a dark side and it holds the universe together.

There's nothing that shouts "Poor Workmanship"  more than wrinkles in the gaffer tape.....

Yep, it's from an ST162 3S-GE.  It required some modification to fit, but it wasn't too bad.  Overall it was very worth it. It cleans up the engine bay nicely.
