3SGTE questions, really need a faq on this! Options

Ok well I used to come to this site alot because I really like the toyota celica. As of right now I still own my first car, a mazda mx-3, well Im sick of it, its going to cost me mega $$ to get it where I want it. So Im going to get a celica for the fall and do a swap hopefully over the winter. So Ive searched trying to find some straight forward info on this swap and there really isnt.

So far all Ive gethered is you need a wiring harness, also and ecu and IM is on everyones list. Ill be ordering a complete engine which includes the ecu and hopefully the harness, Ill ask before I order. Do to ontario law i wont need the IM since my car can be classified as a hotrod and tested under 1980's emmision standards.

So heres my question, when I order this engine is that that? Will it drop right in and just adopt all my old parts, or will I need things to make it work? It comes from a awd car, correct? So what does this imply for a fwd car? So please all the info you could give me would be great, a shopping list of EVERY part needed or recomended would be great. I would also suggest adding a walk through of the swap to a faq section.

Thanks alot!

Hey thanks alot guys, ya i know all about the search function, my eyes just got tired from reading post after post about wiring harnesses":) When I buy a Celica it WILL BE a GT I know all about the different engines and what not. It was the same deal with my MX-3, depending on the model you had different bolt in swaps to choose, either 4cyl or v6. So I guess I will read into the re-wiring more, since I have a guy from a shop I want to do it for me I really need to get him that info before he agrees to do it. I hope its nothing to extreme, any schematics around this page? But anyways I think I should worry more about getting the car first then the engine I want in it!":P The part Im excited about is the fact its going to be cheaper then the MX-3 (klze) swap.

So lets recap, We'll pretend I have a GT, That sucker bolts right in to my stuff, I need a new harness to adapt the new ecu? Then on top of that rewire the relays? Man i wish i knew more about cars":P Ill search around somemore. THanks again guys for the help, mush more receptive then the guys at mx-3.com.
