Ok, i know this is going to sound really cut short but to make this as simple as i possibly can. basic gt to 3s swap...
pulling the 3s motor from the clip
pulling the 5s motor from the celica
make a hybrid harness
put the gt trans on the 3s and drop it in with harness
bolt it all in & pop the axles back in
you are looking at $1100 labor olny and a week to do a swap! (Wiring labor is included in that cost)
options you can add and i advise you do so....
Obviously you will need fresh fluids and that is not covered in labor cost.
New Clutch?
Resurface Flywheel?
Tune up (blets, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel pump, fuel filter)
engine bay clean up?
what do do about exhaust?
tmic or fmic?
all these extra parts are bought by you and i charge a little extra for installation due to more time involved.
Now ask yourself the question...What kind of swap do i want to end up with in the end ...and choose the options you want to add.
how cheap do you want to go about doing the swap?

Could do cams, some porting and polishing but would not have the tooling to do machine work to blocks...there is a shop around that i would have to have things like that done out of house. I am trying to stick to doing all thing in house at my own place.
The cost of machines for that kind of work is out of my range for a good while.
Sorry

Happy to anounce that i have my first swap customer lined up already! It is a 3sgte into a mr2. I gave him a killer deal. You guys are gonna flip at my current price for this. Complete swap for $600. I guess you can say i am having a grand opening deal . Got to get a quick few customer rides done to get my name out there.

Bring up you car and drop it off for a weekend, or take a vacation up this way and rent a car for a few days, and then drive you new beast home after i get it done which is a great way to break in a new clutch cause you can put some good miles on it b4 you get it home and want to race everything i sight.
i am sure total cost will be less than the shop down your way will charge you
i can do celica gt 5spd to 3sgte swap in my sleep
if you are serious about me doing a swap for you contact me via email and i can set you up

Wow, now this i'd be interested in. Drive up there on a week vacation. Drop my car off at your place. Get a rental for a vacation, and the day we leave to go back pick up my car and drive home. That would be incredible.. Hey man PM me a full price you think it would be for me to do a 3rd gen 3s from you. that way i have an estimate to be saving up for

Actually i wont make a header for the 5s cause there already is a MR2 header. I can probably make you guys an adapter pipe so you are able to buy the mr2 header and install it on a celica. Sound good?
Anyone interested in this pm me and if i can get a person willing to do that, i will make a prototype pipe and see how it works????
DG

edit, forgot to answer:
Steve, i can do aluminum but it is kinda expensive and i only do half the work in house. My buddy has to do all the tig welds on it so i have to pay him labor cost on top of me doing all the cutting and sizing of everything.
I can only weld mild steel, aluminized steel, and stainless steel with the welder i have.

I have some decals already made up... If you look on my profile you will see one of my decals on my rear quarter window on the shot from the rear of the car. They are a bit smaller now but look the same. Anytime i do work on a car i offer them free so you can show support for DG P "if you want to". I appreciate anyone who sports my stickers cause i am not a big time shop at all and need all the support i can get!!
Many of you guys might not know this but i am a one man team. I take much pride in hand making every product i got.
Thanks a lot,
DG
