Hey guys I bought a 96 celica a couple months ago. I want to do a 2grfe motor swap. I was wondering if any of you guys would like to take part because I don't have that much knowledge of motor swaps. Nor do I have enough money to pay Someone to do the swap. I'm looking around for a 07-09 camry full front clip with everything except the body panels. Once I get the front clip on my hands I'm goin to start the swap let me know.

Btw I live in mass near Worcester

Nevermind the haters and naysayers.
Hit mr2oc and start doing research. It's been done over there several times and is a great swap that can put down 275+whp with an intake and exhaust.
It's definetly not gonna be an easy swap, especially for a beginner, but it's far from impossible.
When the time comes I would be at least down for one solid day of work, I'm around 1.5 hrs away, but I know a couple mr2 guys that are more local that would prolly be willing to lend a hand.
First thing I would do is talk to Tweak about the wiring, and start researching the DBW system and mounts.
I've been saying for a while now that I would love to do one of those swaps, but I'm WAY to broke to even think about it... Lol
it's definetly a 7k+ swap.

Thanks dude. I'll try and talk to him. ik it's going to be a decient investment. It would probably be double if I asked a shop to do it. I'm hoping my friends dad will help he teaches automotive at a vocational school near me. After the new year I'm going to start really hard on the research. I just have alot going on right now. Sick car btw can't wait till mine is on the road!!
