[AJcelica]

hey everyone, i'm saving up for a 6th gen celica and i was wondering, would it at all be possible to switch the stock engine and tranny with a 7th gen GTS's? my reasoning behind this is that i want to find a cheaper 6th gen with high mileage and then swap the worn engine and tranny with newer stuff. would this be possible or should i look into getting a different engine to swap?

also i was just wondering as to how much i should be paying for all this stuff, including an estimate as to how much a high mileage 96 celica would dent my pocket book...

thanks

IMHO, the 7th gen engines are junk, and as for the cost of a high mileage 6th gen, check out kbb.com, its just the blue book site, but It could help you get a rough estimate on how much you're gonna spend for the car.

mine I bought with 140,000 miles for 4,000, not neccesarily a great deal, but I'm happy.

It is possible to swap a 7th gen gts, but I wouldn't waste my time.

There was another thread on the prices of 3s-gte's if your interested, for instance venus-auto.com has the 2nd gen for 1,500, (good price) and thats for the whole clip.

If planning a swap get the clip so you don't have to hunt down various bits and pieces like the ecu.

Also, if you buy a clip that is a mr2 rear clip(cause its midengine) you may have to do a bit of custom tranny work, but I'm not sure.

I hope we can be some assistance to you, welcome to the board
