Like the topic reads- is it possible? I was playing a little GT3 tonight and got to thinking... and also- why hasnt anybody here completed a 3s-ge swap into a celica?
btw when i say possible i mean cost effective possibe for all you "anything can be done with $$$"...

many parts will be needed, the altezza is a RWD car

RWD engine into a fwd car isnt the easiest swap

engines are not what makes cars FWD RWD ADW 4x4... its the transmission and the way the engine is mounted...the 3sge will fit in a celica,, just like any other toyota in-line 4 will..

There's more to consider then just looking at the engine alone. PS pump, AC, alternator, pulley tensioner, crank pulley, all accessory brackets, motor mounts, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, etc... will all most likely need to be sourced in order to do the swap correctly. You'll basically be using only the block and head...
