Is there any difference in the 5sfe heads? I have a 94 and the one I'm looking to buy shows 97 and up. Its the non cali style.

I wonder if I get that head how hard it would be to swap it over to a distributorless motor. I hate the distributor.

Converting to a distributorless setup is relatively easy. However controlling it is another story. You'd be better off getting an EMS to control fuel/spark and leaving the stock ECU to control everything else.

Unless you manage to retrofit a m/t Solara harness and ECU into the Celica.

For the distributorless ignition you need:

1. Crank timing gear from 98+ engine
2. Oil pump with crank sensor provision from 98+ engine
3. Crank sensor from 98+ engine
4. Head from 98+ engine
5. Cam sensor and bracket from 98+ engine
6. Distributor block-off plug
7. Coil packs from 98+ engine
8. Wiring harness and ECU from 98+ engine


Might as well get a 98+ engine, harness and ECU altogether.
