ST-205 swap, oh yeah! Options

[lupin]

whats up everyone! (my 1st post) anyways, this question has probably been asked many times, but my 28K modem (ouch!) kinda restricts me from seaching the forums.
so....i currently have a 96 celica gt, automatic. how difficult is it to obtain a gt4 engine? how much will it cost (ballpark estimate)? where can i obtain one?
secondly, with my automatic, is there anyway to convert that to manual? how much?

thanks a lot!

QUOTE (jayi12-15psi @ Feb 3, 2003 - 1:16 PM) you can obtain clips from venus auto, they have fairly reasonable prices to, since your in cali I'd think about 500 to ship from japan.  2nd gens would cost you around 1500, and cost for the 3rd gen(the best) would cost around 3500. I recomend the 3rd gen, it has 255hp compared to the 2nd gen's 225 oh and if you were thinking about a usdm 3s-gte, its not worth it it has 200hp compared to the jdm 225hp. 97-99 mr2's have 255hp USDM. The 3rd gen is probably the best engine (I have a clip already) but from what I hear the 2nd gen has just as much potential as the third gen. Unless you get a R/C or as some people call it Group A (like I luckily got) That's all for now Matt

it's an R/C when you are referring to an ST185 and Group A when you are referring to a ST205.

also, have you checked that it was a group A engine? or are you just going on what tpautomotive told you?
