Hello fellow celica owners and/or toyota enthusiats

I've been reading pretty much most of the sticky and interesting posts on this forum and i like to stay the information here is awesome makes me really appreciate my celica more and more.

My 1st question/post is it possible to put an (97-02) jdm camry 5sfe engine into 95 celica GT (stock)? all i do know is that you have to do some drilling in the mounting plate for it to fit. but im not 100% sure.

So if anyone has any insights on this, thanx alot.

i got a 5s out of a jdm 95 Scepter. I reused my oem USDM intake manifold. The only difference between the JDM engine and USDM engine was that the ports on the JDM engine are slightly larger, and i think the compression ratio is just slightly higher..like 0.2 or 0.3:1 difference compaired to stock. I also noticed that just throttel response on the car is a bit different than other GT's and GTS' ive driven. Thats probably just because of the ports though. But yea, i bought my motor for $500 from a buddy of mine who used to import motors. it was a direct drop in because we used all of my oem acessories, sensors, intake manifold, etc.
