ST-205 swap, oh yeah! Options

[lupin]

whats up everyone! (my 1st post) anyways, this question has probably been asked many times, but my 28K modem (ouch!) kinda restricts me from seaching the forums.
so....i currently have a 96 celica gt, automatic. how difficult is it to obtain a gt4 engine? how much will it cost (ballpark estimate)? where can i obtain one?
secondly, with my automatic, is there anyway to convert that to manual? how much?

thanks a lot!

you can obtain clips from venus auto, they have fairly reasonable prices to, since your in cali I'd think about 500 to ship from japan. 2nd gens would cost you around 1500, and cost for the 3rd gen(the best) would cost around 3500. I recomend the 3rd gen, it has 255hp compared to the 2nd gen's 225 oh and if you were thinking about a usdm 3s-gte, its not worth it it has 200hp compared to the jdm 225hp.

they don't ship from japan, they ship from their warehouse in CA. you can go pick it up too if you want.
