5SFE Block. Old or new?, Going 5SGTE Options

[RichieRichJP]

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?

im actually rebuilding my 5s block right now to go on with this "FRANKENSTEIN" swap. people will argue that its not possible, 5s is not made for turbo or it wont fit. but if you do it right and with the right parts, it is very well possible and actually has been done by quite a few people.

its just a matter of how u go about doing it, not so much taking your 5s and throwing on a 3sgte head. (NOT PLUG AND PLAY!) its more of an idea of take a complete 3sgte motor swap and plug your 5s block in there. mainly because u need all the parts from the 3s to work with the head and turbo.

ive talked to ice23q a member who has done it......ughhhh actually just look at the thread
