5s-fe, is similar to 3s-fe and 3sge, and 3sge with beams. They are all S series engines. So swapping out for engine would be direct drop in and motor mounts are the same. as from what i heard. im not sure if there needs to be any other details im missing becuase i am still learning about our cars just as you are.

I asked dr tweak about what i needed for swapping out for a beams engine and he said (i have a st celica, a series engine):

- celica gt motor mounts
- custom power steering.
- axles from celica gt
- custom a/c

Not really worth it to do on a 7a becus of costs. there are mounts, axles, exhaust repiping, ECU, etc. to consider, even a rebuild kit would be something to do. ahh, the list goes on.
