I really would like to swap in the 1997-2000 solara v6 engine since it has 200hp/214lbs tq. I want to know everything that I need to make the swap. I know a few things, but I am not sure on others... correct me if I am wrong. Also, on the parts, please let me know what car it should to come from (ie Celica gt or camry)

Axels- yes
engine mounts- yes
rear brake conversion- yes
ecu- yes
tranny- yes
exhaust-yes
sway bars-??
struts-??
radiator-??
A/C- ?? (will mine work?)
cruise-?? (will mine work?)

Anything else that I might need, fill me in.. smile.gif

Thanks for your help

USDM... yeah... but JDM's are pretty easy to get ahold of. Are you looking specifically for USDM due to issues with emissions?

Parts b/w a USDM ST185 and a JDM ST185 are interchangeable.
