hey whats up guys, i got a 94 st liftback w/ a blown 7afe. i have made my swap choice, due to availability of funds it looks like my best bet is the 4age 20v silvertop. i know the black top has more power blah blah, but i think i will be ok with the silver. here's my delima, im new to dallas and have no shop to work out of. im pretty mechanically inclined and feel confident in doing this swap myself but i lack a cherry picker. i've spoke to intercrew performance down the road and the end price is around 3,000 which includes motor, install and tune. which to be honest sounds rediculous to me. he says 1200 for engine, 1500 for labor and 300 for harness. here's what im thinking........ hoping to find fellow 6gc buddy to help me out with removal and install. i found a 4age 20v for about 850 with 6 month warrenty and free shipping. so far best deal i've seen. As far as removal of 7afe, are there any snags or tricks to ease this process as well as any problems i might encounter. Now the big ?'s. ....... i've been doing quite a bit of research about the install, i plan on sending my harness to Dr. Tweak once i get the engine, so with that said and no one having to remind me of that, if i cant get the tranny with the engine, how well will my 7a drivetrain work? i know i need to lengthen throttle cable, no problem doing that.
what other problems may i encounter and is there anyone in dallas area whom has a facility that wouldnt mind lending/renting to me to do this. any and all feedback appreciated. |

i sent netrata a message and we'll see what he says. only luck i need is that the engine i order is gonna be ready to rock when i get it. but you never know
 i've been planning this for some time now, so within the next few weeks i plan on recieving my engine and getting my celica trasported to my current location and working some magic. any and all tips with removal process, anything i need to look out for please, let me know asap
