I have a 1994 Celica ST coup hardtop that I am converting to a quarter mile monster. Now I need to find the right engine so I can get it done ASAP. I'm planning to replace the mechanics with high preformance racing products. With so many options I need to see other suggestions. The new 2.4 in the Camry and the Scion tC looks promising but I haven't heard of any fixed up 2.4's. Any help would be much appreceated.

Quarter-mile monster? ST? FWD? None of that goes together at all. You bought the complete wrong car. Your mistakes are as follows:
1) Getting a Celica to run a 13 takes a lot of cash. 2) An ST is harder to drop a 3SGTE into because of the motor mounts, but, it can of course be done. 3) FWD is not exactly a drag platform. You need rear wheel drive for this. I just breezed over Kwanzas post so I'm sure that I'm repeating what he said. I'm going to bed. -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.
