6G Celicas Forums

i been looking and sreaching but cant finad the info. so my question is are the mounts for the engine and tranny on both the 5sfe and 7afe bolt up the same to the body on 6g celica?

would like to know before i buy my next celica due to a past build plan

i had a great 94 st but it was killed by a jeep. looking to see how hard it be to swap an A-motor in to a GT celica

thanks

don't swap an A series motor into a GT. especially not the 7afe lol
the mounting spots are different on the passenger side between the ST and GT, but I'm not sure about the front or back.

they are basically different mounts, and technically it sounds correct just by looking at the bodies. but i read a long time ago that 5sfe upgrades to 3sge and 7afe upgrades to 4age with more ease, than trying to go from a 7afe to 3sge. correct me if im wrong folks.

thats pretty much the deal.

dont downgrade a gt to an st.

if your looking to buy a chassis based on an engine you want to use, buy an ST if you are going "A" series, GT for "S" series.

"S" series into an "A" series chassis requires drilling 2 holes on the passanger side frame rail, and either cutting a hole, and welding a nut in place, or using threaded rod to go thru the frame rail with nuts on each end.
there are 2 "dimples" in the ST chassis that actually mark the location of where the mount goes, so its just a matter of buying a long drill bit, and making the hole.

converting an GT to an ST is just wrong in so many ways.

what i want to do is a 20v 7age build and i would get a st for it but the close one is two states over and there are a ton of gt for sale around me plug i would have the gt brakes.so that were i am

been doing more reseach and found something that fuuny. no one once said any thing about the 3SGE BEAMS engine. and that will work just grand for my plans
