Just thinking out loud - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #55891 10 posts Started by Legit94GT
What if i bought a 5th gen all trac, sold my 6th gen gt... drove around my 5th gen around while i buy a beat up 6th gen... i completly restore my 6th gen, new pain body everything, then once all that is done i take the motor out of my 5th gen and drop it into my restored 6th gen?

That way i get to drive an AWD for awhile, while i can dump money into a 6g making it all nice and perfect... untill i swap the motors?

Im just thinking out loud here... Mods feel free to delete this if you want to...

'88 All Trac for sale in Clackamas, 150k on the 3sgte, 2k is the asking price. Buy it, rebuild its engine, part out the rest, swap-a-roonie. Shazaam.



LOL i was looking at the this morning but i couldnt figure out if that was the kind of 3 i want... i thought only the 3s that were in the 5th gens are a direct bolt on in my GT?

Any body see a problem, like it not working in my 94 GT, or a reason why i shouldn't buy this 88 all trac and take the engine out and rebuild it?

Wouldnt a 3sgte out of a 5th gen be better?

88 all track has a 1st gen 3SGTE, comes factory with 200 hp, by the time you pay for rebuilt and get it installed you'd have spend more than a regular 3sgte swap and won't have even close to the same amount of power.

it's that a good enough reason for you ? smile.gif

ya that is a good reason alright
so would it be worth the extra money to buy a 3rd generation over a 2nd 3sgte? Assiming I rebuild it

Thanks

Fair enough... just thought I'd share. Here's an auction for a 3rd gen 3sgte
