You know on a side topic, ive been thinking of hunting one of these old celicas down and buying it for a fun car and had this same thought. Would it be possible to put a 3S in the old celicas like that one? and i know anything is possible with money, but would it really be possible without tons of modification?

Former Celica Owner... RIP 08-2007Now proud owner of a 2007 Solara w/ TRD exhaust, TRD FTSB, TRD Lowering Springs & many other goodies...
Idk how hard it would be. But it would be sweet to see one with a 3s and RWD. That would be pretty sick. Or AWD.
Nice car, theres a few guys who have the S2k motor in their first gens.

3s swaps into RWD celicas isnt hard, its one of the more common swaps for older celicas. Theres a guy on classic-celicas who has 3 first gens, 1 with a 3sgte in it, 1 with the S2K motor and another with a 3TGTE in it. I love first gen celicas, sooo many swaps to do, most cars are soo clean, and they r just pure sexyness.

any W series RWD trannies, you just need a diff bellhousing. Im thinking if i get some extra $ coming in and i finish up the bodywork on my 83, swapping in a 2nd gen 3sgte into my 83. Theres a guy on one of my car clubs for my 83 that has a full conversion kit with the 3sgte for $1500.
thats a very cool car! i would love to be able to do something like that with that type of budget.

Now thats one cool car

i would have stuck with the black top beams. Only thing you would need is a custom drive shaft to match up the 6 speed transmission with the orgianl rear diff. But i'm not sure what the final drive ratio is....

but, wow. what a nice swap. smile.gif

been done..lol...seriously, theres a crap load of crazy swaps on classic-celica's website...but old school toyotas are so easy to work on and swap. Like ive met 2 guys with KP61 Starlets, one guy has a 20V silvertop on ITBS, the other has a 3rd gen 3SGTE. My friend just sold his KP61 with a 13B in it with an AE86 rear end in it. Like if you wanted to, you could swap a 20B into an AE86 pretty easily. Old toyotas are awsome for swapping.
pretty sweet. almost as sweet as a 67 mustang with a rb engine.

ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.

lol. i'm actually not a big fan of the movies. too ricey for my taste. i dunno why, but to me that drift stang is a work of art. probably one of the reasons being it had no stickers, neon, or ricey spoiler/body kit like the other cars in the movies. just a clean classic car combined with today's technology (much like that 1gc with a s2k engine)... the best of both worlds.
