So I went thru the stickies and the ere is a thread that says great info for anyone looking to swap a 4th gen 3sgte. But doesnt give me any info that Im specificly looking for, which is how much easier or harder is it to swap a 4th gen 3sgte than a 3rd gen. Is it still plug n play for a JDM celica or or is there more stuff that needs to be done, and last note does it drop right in or do modification need to be done?

4th gen is the way to go, im sorry i didnt build a forged 4th gen instead of rebuilding my 3rd gen.
stronger block, coil on plug, side feed intake, not sure about the gen 4 crank, a gen 3 crank or 5sfe reground if you want a stroker build can be used if the gen 4 is found to be weaker once you have je pistons and eagle rods (or even a set of 2nd hand gen 3) , that should be all the weaknesses covered -------------------- Mike W
