After doing a bunch of research and deciding with what to do with my set up, I've decided to go 5sgte rather than 5sfte. The reasons should be obvious since I'm going for a performance build.
In recent weeks, I've done a lot of reading and made a few phone calls and found out that there are two versions of the 5sfe block. Great.
Now between both Camry's and Celica's, what years are the older version blocks and which ones are the newer versions?

the difference is the camshafts. In Toyota's engine naming system, G denotes that the engine has wide angle, performance cams. F means that the engine has economy, narrow angle camshafts.

No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings.

I believe its the angle of the valves, and port sizes. while the cams are different too.
