i used a s54 tranny but i'd say $2500 with new clutch and a extra used turbo.

Motor w/ shipping was 2800 for me. Mine is a WRC version. You can get others for less.
With rebuild ie: machine work, pistons, rods, bearings, etc...1900$ in building. Final estimated swap costs taking everything into account..... maybe 6000$ --------------------  |

yup, a basic swap, doin the labor yourself normally runs 4-6k. add 1k for e153, a bit more for lsd.

Yes, those prices are the swappers doing the work themselves.

I'd say... 3,600 give or take.
CP pistons, eagle rods, re-machined head/block, ONLY ARP hardware and Cometic gaskets, new parts galore, uprated alternator, stage 2 clutch kit w/light flywheel machine work done by shop, and another shop found idle issue (cost me nearly a grand). swap done by myself and friends w/basic tools and a lot of garage space. have lots of left over parts too. -------------------- proud =3sgte SWAPPED= '95 Celica ST owner [calling it the GT2 or half-trac]
