3sgte clip ques. Options

[sta3sgte]

Hey i have a 1995 celica ST. I have a 1993 3sgte with (awd) tranny. The motor is complete with ECU, harness, intake, all piping, starter, a/c compressor. Is it a better ideal to sell what i have and get a clip, or just work with what i have finding the rest of the parts to do the swap.
also, a quick list of the parts i still need, and if i should sell and get a clip, what is a good place to get one!!!
thanks

really depends on your goals and what you still need to buy for the swap. as for a tranny a celica GT tranny code: S53 will be easiest and cheapest. you will need GT shift cables, GT flywheel, GT clutch (aftermarket something like ACT or Centerforce), the tranny itself, and all 4 GT motor mounts, and last but not least.. the GT axles (abs or non depends on if your car has abs or not).

if you go the MR2 tranny route itll be more complicated with hybrid motor mount setup and axles.

if you use the AWD tranny you need all ST205 motor mounts, 205 shifter cables, and hybrid axles. (speculated to not be a good idea to run st185 tranny in FWD mode for long periods of time) I however personally know of an alltrac owner that has put 2k plus miles on his awd in FWD mode after blowing a transfercase.

SO like i said it all depends on what you plan to do with your car.
