Hey guys i'm thinking of swapping a 2grfe into my ae92, but i'm having a very very hard time finding an E153. My question is will it be worth it to find one, a year ago I rebuilt my s54 with a Quaife LSD and replaced some syncro's and worn gears. I may use the s54 for now, it just seems very difficult to find a FWD e153 and I can't find to much info on anyone's preference to the E53's. I don't drag race and I use my car mainly for hpde track events and autocross. However on the back of my mind I feel like why put an engine with good power in if I can't even abuse it without something breaking.
Also one big think that may make this swap hard is the amount of space I have, I know the 6th gen celica has way more room. I'm not to worried because cutting and welding isn't a problem. here's what I mean by my space issue.

its not my thread. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=92362
yes the S54 will hold the 1MZ with no problems. In fact, im taking my E153 out and swapping in an S54 with the S51 5th gear. The E153 is going in the GF's car with the 3rd gen 3S-GTE. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
