Almost ready for a JDM motor swap Options

[Munkee]

Aite fellas I'm almost ready pick up my motor for my 94 celica GT. I'm lookin into getting a 90-93 jdm 3s-gte out of a mr2. I've read somewhere a while ago that the motor drops in using the same motor mounts. Is that true? On top of that I've been trying to do a check list making sure that I have everything to do this swap. I'm goin to attempt to do this swap with my friend who works at a garage, but I feel like I'm still forgetting something. So what I'm asking is for those who've done the swap if they could post up what measures they took to do this swap.

If you do a search for a thread titled "3SGTE swap checklist" or something like that, by myself, I wrote a good list there.

The MR2 3SGTE is a little harder to swap into the Celica, get one from a Celica GT4. The GT mounts will work as long as you are using the stock tranny, and grind some off the passenger mount.

The hardest part is the wiring, but I can do that for you, the cost is $350 plus shipping.

You see I'd love to get a GT4 motor but one I'm on a little budget, two I found a site that's selling the motor, tranny, ECU and axles for $1400. Found it on Engineslandinc.com
