Hey guys this might be too little too late to get any action from anyone, but its worth a try.
I have come into possession of a 1997 Celica SL Limited Edition (sadly its automatic too haha).

Before i get into what im going to do i want everyone to know that money is not an issue, i am getting paid well and am really pumped to start this project, so i dont need to hear about how stupid it is monetarily. Also i have access to friends that are quite skilled with welding and fabbing that are all supportive and want to help with this.

So i want to swap a 2JZ-GTE in and make it rear wheel. Im not looking to go the turbo route, but i am hoping to have at least the engine, trans and rear diff/axle from supra and maybe anything else i can make due with if possible

I would love any tips and hurdles that i may come accross throughout this project and anything that may make any part of this any smoother!

Things like the following but not secluded to:
1. cutting for the new trans tunnel
2. Is there already room for a driveshaft to fit or will i have to cut for that as well
3.Someone told me that the GT-Four subframe will bolt right up and make room for the rear diff is this true?
4. What of the interior will i have to change to make things keep looking clean and together and not disheveled
5. Should i just go with a supra ecu, or is there something else i should be looking at?

And anything else anyone can think of

Thanks for any and all help!

How good do you want to look? or not?

If Money is not an issue and you want a 1JZ, get a JZA70, youll love it.

However, there is a guy that placed a RWD 3SGTE. You may want to look in his thread.

Only issue you will have, is space. Not quite sure the JZ will fit in the engine bay space, unless you push it back, and modify firewall. its a big long block, and will rob into your radiator space.

and whatever else slavie said.
