Project Celica SX6, 1MZ-FE into my 1997 SX= SX6! Options

[CelicaSX6]

Hey there, so this is the start of a journey that begun over a year ago (but was kept on haiatus albeit)
Basically, I am turning my Aussie Delivered 1997 SX Celica into an 'SX6', basically the SSIII body with a 1MZ-FE fwd, an option that sadly wasn't offered as factory.

MODS SO FAR:

• JDM HEADLIGHTS/TAIL LIGHTS
• Clear Side Indicators
• Black Licence Plate Garnish
• 1998 White Gauge Clusters, with orange glow
• SSIII Grille and Badge
• Kenwood Stereo, new speakers.

PROBABLE MODS:

• 1MZ-FE Motor
• LSD Gearbox (maybe)
• 5x114 hubs
• Lexus IS 17inch rims
• Coilovers

I have a lot of research to do but I have seen a completed 1MZ Celica and it was a total rocket. I have the money to proceed, I just need to make it happen!

I guess it's possible someone has made "GE" style heads for the 1MZ, but as far as from the factory goes there was only the 1MZ-FE. In fact I think all of the V6 have had FE heads and none with GE heads. Same goes for their V8 engines aside from the 2UR-GSE.
