yes put wheels and tires on it to move it around if you dont have a fork lift, much easier and you wont break parts. You need about five friends to help move it around. get zip lock bags and lable all the hardware you remove with a sharpie and dont cut any hoses or lines, remove them. We are doing 96 Celica at my shop right now, we got a MR2 3SGTE engine and trans, and a st185 front clip, using the accessories, brackets, 1/2 shafts, mounts, trans cables, pedals and wire harness from the ST185, and the 3SGTE and trans from the MR2. So we even have the spare engine and ALL TRACK trans when we get done, what to do with that eh?

good luck and let me know if you have some questions.
