I started my swap last night! Got the engine out and the 3sgte mounted onto the 5s-fe trans. within about 4 hours. The motor mount next to the timing cover had to be modified to fit correctly. Ive heard before its a direct fit for the 5s-fe motor mounts. Its not! Only one bolt lines up without modifications. I took the mount to the grinding wheel and managed to make it fit well. If anybody wants pics give me your e-mail and Ill send you some pics of the mount. Hope this will better prepare some of the future swappers! later-

Its a 95 gt celica body and a 1991 celica alltrac engine with the gt transmission. I ended up using the 5s-fe mount that attatches to the engine. I spent about 20 minutes grinding it away. I did a TON of researching but I was under the impression that the gt motor mounts was a direct fit, and the st celica mounts had to be modified. Oh well, I figured it out. Ill put a pic of the mount on my profile. I dont know how to link my pics to this site any other way. They are on my computer. I can e-mail them though. Well back out to the cold garage. Later............
