Alright man. I will tell you this. There is no such thing as a non-feasable egine swap. anything is possible. In order to do the I6 Swap, you are going to have to cut a tranny tunnel and you would have to not only find the motor and tranny, but you would also have tog et a hold of the whole drivetrain. You are looking at a 6 thousand dollar investment. If you are looking for a lot of power or something that noone else has done, look into putting a v8 into your celi. A 350 out of a stingray, or mid 90's camaro would suit your needs and your pocket book better than attempting the I6 swap. You can usually pick up the whole camaro for about 3 grand. And I would pick up like an old DX or something for a daily driver for the months of work you're planning on doing. Just my input tho. Anything is possible if you put your mind and tools to it.

Please stop.
A 6,000 investment? Right. For what? The whole project? No.
A 3S-GTE swap will be about 6,000 - and that is a drop in job, not a custom one.
You would need to cut out the firewall and move it back a good distance, and then cut the transmission tunnel. You'll need to fabricate a rear subframe and all of the needed components for the RWD. You'll probably need to get the Supra suspension as well.
You'd be looking at upwards of 20K for that kind of work, which would be stupid because you can go buy a Supra instead of bastardizing a Celica.

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
Owning a Trans Am and a Corvette with both of the popular Chevy V8's of later years, I will say there's no way it's going to fit in the engine bay of the Celica. Too long, and more importantly, too wide to make it between the shock towers with manifolds, much less headers. You're talking MAJOR surgery on the car (think surgery like the kid who did the LS1 into a Prelude). A Chevy powered V8 Celica though..... I love the thought!
As for the 2JZ......Wasn't Dr. Tweak offering to do that swap including a RWD conversion for $12K a while back??? I'd have instantly done it, but I didn't have the money.
Here's food for thought though: If someone does do the 2JZ swap, you'd need a rear. Narrow a Ford 8.8" rear and have custom axles made. THey're a dime a dozen, parts are readily available, and custom axles aren't very expensive at all. Custom driveshafts are cheap too ($350ish). Food for thought for those who might be trying.

Thanks for the food for thought:)
Ya i kinda thought it sounded way to crazy to try and drop in a v8 where an i4 used to be...
But i think i have fianlly decided to just go with a swap for a 3sgte and call it good:)
BUt buying a 5th gen awd turbo for 5k is very tempting:/

Yeah, everything involves time and work. If you're gonna set something aside for a project car or for asomething to play around with, you're not gonn ahve it be your main ride. And in the real world, things do take time and work. That's life. Yeah, investing in a full supra would be the btter bet. But then again, if you're gonna invest that kind of money then you would wanna start from a greater power base anyway, besides a ****ing tuner. How about this for truth. If you really wanna go big, go for some muscle and balls. They have more potential, cost less for the same bang, and you can do more with them without custom fab because you can find parts anywhere. how about that for real life you cunts!
