So...so far my 7afe is always burning oil and such... has 227xxx miles... Now it seems like 7afe is a flawed engine that will leak oil... so which engine is best... now I know ya`ll always say 3gste...besides that one... is a 7gen celi gts engine betteR? or should I look for a 6gen gt swap? whats the cheaper/easier swap? And longevity engine? I want more power but my wallet is just wanting a cheap swap... I dunno...
 Ideas?

7A-FE is hit and miss. Mine has 190K miles and no problems. Ehh, unless you're wanting to swap in a 3S-GTE, 3S-GE BEAMS, or 1MZ-FE best option is another 7A-FE. Or could get the 7th generation Celica, has 140hp and gets 27/33(auto was rated at 29/36 so I'd imagine the manual could get that to) and weighs 2,425 pounds. Downside with the 7GC is engine bay is cramped.
