96 7afe (M) into a 95 7afe(A) celica., question reguards to swapping it over. Options

[mandrek]

hey all i have a few questions that a few hours of idle searches and reading have not been able to help me find the info that i need..

i have a 95 ST auto that had the motor go out on, and i just picked up a 96 manual st as a parts car. right now ALL that i want to do is swap the motor over. JUST the motor, ill may do an auto to manual swap later, but not what im concerned about ATM. now i know that there is a difrence between the two 7Afe's (95-to-96) in reguards to power output from the factory. but what it was understanding was that it was just a tune from the factory, and the addition of some emissions stuff.

what i would like to do right now at this point is get my car back on the road. so i was wondering if there are any difrences in reguards to the motor that will give me problems when switching it over, plugs, sensors, ecu-harness, etc..

or will i be able to just pull the motor from the 96, slap it on the auto, drop it in the 95, and plug everything up. and get on my way?

i could write more and make this alot more winded than it is, but i want to keep it simple.

thank you in advance for any relative info.

mandrek.

just pull the engine and use your manifold and sensors. since the parts car is a 96, there is a chance that its an ODBII car so there will be some differences. I have a guide on the forums on how to pull the engine out of the car. just follow that and you should be good to go.

just use your distributor and intake manifold with the sensors.

pull the tranny out with the engine. you will have to take off the clutch and flywheel so you can put the flexplate on for the auto tranny. trust me, its so much easier to do this out of the car.
