3gste swap Options

[Tweekee]

I have had my Celica for the past 12 years, She has been a good girl - I have alot of respect for this car - 1.8 basic 5 speed.

I will be picking up a 95 GT shell that is someones project car - with a 4th gen 3gste and a Camry V6 Tranny

Where are some good places to look for "How To's"?

What are the parts needed?

Are there things that I should check on this new engine before the swap? (40k miles)

I dont want this to be loud or out of the ordinary (no rice burner noises) & I want to keep the stock look.

Are there things that I should be taking from the GT shell before it gets scrapped? above and beyond the struts & brakes.

Am I getting in over my head? ... I will be having help from my boyfriend who has done motor swaps before with his Honda's and Isuzu.

Im Concerned about ruining a great car - should I be?


Was 2k to much to pay for the engine, GT Tranny( and v6 Camry), both ECU's, wireing harness, Shell, carbon fiber hood and boxes of extra misc. items

Are there any high $$$ items that I should be on the look out for needed for this swap?

Is it the factory keyless entry? If so, the remotes are cheap and easy to get from Ebay. The GT transmission will work with the 3S but the Camry transmission will be better. The problem is that it requires custom axles. Be sure to post pictures!

I would like to know more about the AXLE issues with the V6 Tranny - will the V6 tranny come with the LSD - I also know I need to get GT4 Shifter cables, where is a good place to get those?

Christmas came last night!!! I have the pics to prove it.
