Hey guys, I have a blown head gasket and a warped head on my 5sfe. I was wondering what would be the easiest swap to do, engine wise.

I'm not in any position to tell you which swap is easiest, because I've only done one before. But I would think that to stick with a 5SFE would be best. You wouldn't have to do any ECU re-wiring or anythinglike that, unless it's a JDM 5SFE. Correct me if I'm wrong guys/gals. If you want more POWER, now that's a totally different story.
-Hope I helped, Ryan EDIT: Oh, and at the top of this ENGINE/TRANSMISSION/MAINTENANCE section, there's a FAQ sticky with all types of information on engine swaps and more. This post has been edited by str8thugginit4ya: Dec 26, 2010 - 10:34 AM |

easiest swap would be to install a new head.
How did you warp it/determine it was warped? -------------------- |

if you are going to swap and have the money, do a 3S-GTE out of the celica GT-4. otherwise stick with a replacement 5S-FE.
-------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
1997 Supra TT 6speed 1997 Celica 3MZ/1MZ swap 1990 Celica All-Trac |

Easiest swap is another 5SFE. Don't buy a "JDM" one, because the 5SFE wasn't produced overseas... it's 2.0L brother the 3SFE was, which will run like doggy doo doo on the 5SFE electronics.
Fix your motor, unless you have about $6000 kicking around that you can put towards a 3SGTE swap. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

From what you guys have said, I think I am going to stick with the 5sfe.
