I meant aftermarket parts, like cams and pistons
loads of choice and in general less than half the cost of the beams equivelant.
I agree though the beams is the better engine, especially just out of the box, i have an older gen 2 3s-ge at 166bhp in my second celica and whilst it makes the same torque as the beams its character is very different. Stock vs stock there is little comparison.
but i mean if your tuning it up, and you sat down and worked out what it would cost to get to a certain bhp, at different points it will make more sense to go for a gen 3 rather than beams, but at other points the beams will make more sense, of course it helps if you know what your trying to acheive!
