I'm thinking of swapping the 1MZFE V-6 from a Camry including the auto into my new Celica. Call it the V-Celica. I'll keep it auto since it's going to be my wife's car and she wants auto, plus it's unique that way.

Hehe... I'd probably do the same actually... but IMO... buy a Camry if she wants a V6 auto. Gotta do the stick... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

[right][snapback]335548[/snapback][/right] Yeah I really don't know what I'm going to do yet, we'll see as time goes by. If I can get what I want for it, I'll sell it. Like I keep telling her, there'll be another 6th gen  But I like to kick ideas around

Find a hatch 6th Gen and do the 1mz with a Supercharger/ 5spd manual transmission. You'll then be my hero.

(ST 5spd is wat i have) wat ever tranny will hold a supachaga [right][snapback]336453[/snapback][/right] Okay well you're going to want an E153 then. At least you don't need the auto/manual conversion. I'm pretty certain that we can score a decent 1MZFE for around $600, installation will be $900, the tranny with the axles and mounts and other BS will probably be close to another $1000, add another $1000 for the odds and ends... $3500... dang, that's a pretty good price! It's because the 1MZ is easier to get and there's no intercooler stuff to deal with. The tricky part of it will be... a. finding a 5-speed 1MZ or b. making an auto 1MZ ECU happy with no auto tranny attached to it (doable)
