What gen 3SGE is this?, Please help Options

[Manos]

Hi all,

I've been at this before, so I beg for yuor patience.

I'm looking into buying this 3SGE engine for my ST:

(This is the only photo I have at the moment).
Could someone please be so kind as to identify what generation it is?
It is advertised as having 178hp (suggesting it is gen3, but by the looks of it I cannot verify it against the photos shown here:

Really easy to spot based on the intake manifold... and the BEAMS are super easy.

Gen 1


Gen 2


Gen 3


Gen 4


Gen 5

Also, I'm looking at what other parts I'll be needing for swapping it into my '95ST (with 7AFE motor), but cannot find anything straight forward about this issue.
Provided I get the entire engine + gearbox + harness + ECU, I think I'll also be needing new engine mounts, right? Will my axles (ST) do or will I need new ones?
Anything else?
(Yes, I have used both the search function on here and Google... )


Thanks a lot in advance for any insight, feedback and advice.

Looks to be a 2nd gen. There are slight variations to the Celica and MR2 versions.

(Which is why none of your pictures match up exactly to the one in the ad)

As far as swapping into your car with the 7a, I would get all the engine mounts from a 5S, and the axels from a 5S too.

If you're getting all the other components, harness, ECU, etc - that should be all you need.
