7afe to 5SFE swap, How easy is this swap to fit in At200l (st) Options

[TravCelica]

So i recently wrecked my Special edition At200l. I found a Gt with a 5sfe in it with the front end parts i need for Dirt cheap. My transmission is busted on the At200l (st) and so I was thinking of taking the Healthy Running and Driving GT (with rust issues) and transfiguring everything into the At200L(st) body that is still in Tact. Will everything fit? I will have the entire care to pull parts from to make this happen. I have done swaps before in other vehicles but this is my first Celica build. What level of difficulty am I dealing with here?

As far as the bodies they the same up front so that turns into your basic bodywork collision repair as for the swap i haven't done that but it should be pretty simple since your going to have all of the necessary parts to complete it

Yep, totally doable, need to transfer the drivetrain with the cross member (under the engine), computer, shifter linkage, etc. You can also do the conversion to the rear disk brakes from GT.

It's doable but not many people would go to all that trouble just to have a 5sfe in there. You'd basically just take everything from the GT and throw it in the ST. all for 20 more hp? maybe? Why not, just register and drive the GT as a beater and slowly work on building and swapping your ST?
