1998 Celica 2.2 question., Engine Swap Options

[Lemonoh]

Hi everybody. I'm new to celica's and toyotas in general after coming from mainly building 13b rotarys. I found a nice 1998 Gt with an excellent body( which is very rare here) but the water pump failed and it over heated so it was sold cheap. The only motor here for sale are 2001 Camry motors. I know both engines are roughly the same except the Camry has coils. My question is can I swap the 2001 Camry motor in? I need to keep it the same motor for autoX classing. Can I swap the distributer over along with my other accessories and make it work or does the celica head need to be swapped over to the Camry block? Any info would be great. Thanks

You would use the Camry engine with all your celica electronics. New engine might not have EGR and most likely won't have a fuel return, and the header will not fit, nor the oil pan will be the same.

Those are a few basics, but yes, you can use the camry engine with some details changed here and there.
