The long awaited transformation, 1 car 1 decade 1 dream Options

[coldbluesteel]

Hello everybody. like it says... this is the story of my Celica's transformation. This will be an on going thread so if it needs to be moved go ahead, thanks. I'll post pics when I get a chance. Great things are on the horizon.


The goal... to have the meanest street driven Celica in the world.

Details will be added soon.

IF you are serious about a 3 UZ FE V8 conversion:

Find yourself a 'Front Cut' of a Lexus carrying the
3 UZ FE engine / Trans. and buy it complete.

Take the front end - sub frame and everything -
ECM - Harness - suspension - engine - trans.
and install that under the 6G sheet metal -
and be DONE with it.

This is the Least Expensive - best 'Bang for the Buck'
way of obtaining a 4.3 V-8 powered Celica and won't
take a shop forever to do - should have it out in
a weeks time.

A few years down the road - when the 5.7 is plentiful
in the salvage yards - and they will be as TOYOTA is
cranking out 150 thousand of these a year - you can
DROP in a 5.7 - with 381 HP normally aspirated - and
sell the 3 UZ Fe for a 'break even' cost.


Can I get an "AMEN" ?
