Has anybody here ever mated a 3sge redtop to a e154f?
I have an AE95 alltrac sedan and I'd like to swap a really nice engine like the redtop into it. It has the 4afe which has a different bellhousing than the 3sge so I think my best option is to also swap in the e154f transmission. My intuition tells me that it is the same block as the 3sgte which would mate up perfectly with the e154f, but I'm not sure. I'm a little worried about interference with the transfer case. Has anybody ever actually mated a BEAMS redtop to a Celica Alltrac transmission? Did it fit perfectly or did you have to grind some? |

It will bolt on perfectly, but the BEAMS doesn't have the torque to comfortably move an AWD car. It has more torque than a 5S, but it doesn't make peak torque until around 6k rpm and below that, the 5S is much torquier. But then again maybe the AE95 is light enough to make up for the loss of the AWD drivetrain.
