I currently have a 94 celica gt and the head is in perfectly good working order. I plan to port and polish and get a valve job done on a new head and swap them out. I currently drive my celica every day and can not take current head off and be without a car for a while. I found a 96 5sfe celica head and I want to make sure everything is compatible as in plug in play or do I need to swap this and that out. I'm new to the Toyota game and there isn't much information on it. I've looked for few days now. I'm used to Hondas and Toyotas are much different.

If it's in perfectly good working order, why? It'll be nothing but a tremendous waste of money and time. FE is Toyota's designation for economy, while GE is the designation for performance. The only worthwhile way of getting power is to swap in a BEAMS, 3S-GTE, or 1MZ/3MZ V6. That or go forced induction with what you have now. One could possibly make a 5S-GE by using a 3S-GE head on the 5S-FE, but I imagine it's more trouble that what it's worth as you really don't see much about it. Toyota isn't like Honda where you can go into a warehouse blindfolded and slap together a running engine, I wish it were that easy. There's lots of information here in the FAQ's and with people's swap threads. For what it'd cost to squeeze every last drop out of the 5S-FE you'd be much better off swapping or going forced induction. Also, welcome by the way. Not trying to discourage, just it'd suck to see you trying to piss into the wind and end up hating the car because of it.
