I own a 1994 Toyota Celica ST Liftback Automatic Transmission.
My engine is dead at this point. One of the valves failed on me. I am thinking of swapping the engine. The shop I know can install an engine for me for around $300-500. I am considering a A JDM 4AGE SILVER TOP 20 VALVE 1990-1996 COROLLA ENGINE and/or A JDM 4AGZE Supercharged Engine Are these conversions difficult? On top of buying the engine and just dropping it in, are there other necessary modifications? I am a college student and this cant cost me much. The shop agreed to do it for $300-500. I can buy the engine, but will I have to modify other things once the engine is dropped in? Does this engine fit in perfectly into a 94 ST? Also the supercharged engine thats for sale comes with a 5 Speed FWD. Would that be difficult to mount to the automatic transmission i have now? I don't want to convert to manual. You guys here seem very knowledgable. I would really appreciate a response... Thanks! |

Yeah, seriously, I just had another 7A-FE put in, still stock, no work done to it, 60k miles, and it was $1,000 for the motor. The labor was $1,300. I live in Indiana, and had a mom and pop garage do the swap, and it was still 1300. just hope you don't get scammed, man, keep ur eyes peeled for another shop too.
