Difficulty swapping front ends? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #92645 4 posts Started by yfn16
Whats the difficulty in swapping my 5sfte out for a st205 3sgte motor and transmission or a 3rd gen mr2 3sgte motor and transmission? I didn't know how much difference there was in the transmission and axles and whatnot. Is one easier than the other?
I just realized this is in the wrong thread. Would someone like to move it? Or do you even do that on this forum?
mr2 transmission will need work, as is for a rear engine not front engine. the mr2 engine will have components facing differently.

Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me.

read the swap information in the stickies.

the MR2 engine is the same engine, but all the accessories are mounted differently. you want an engine from a celica ST205
