help with 3sgte swap Options

[celicaracer18]

i am starting a project celica and am ready to order the engine
i have one persone telling me to buy the MR-2 engine and tranny because then i can stay fwd

then i have someone else telling me to buy the st205 front clip which will be much more epensive(also more shipping charges) and i will have to be AWD

i do want to eventually convert to AWD but i'm not sure if i want to if it is going to cost me $10000

i have my money ready and i need to order the engine ASAP
i am currently asking for partial sponserships but if i know what i need and find a good price then i will order it tommorrow because sponserships probably won't happent at this point but would be great on the engine

Both people you are talking to are idiots, no offense. The only way you can go AWD is if you have the entire drivetrain (more or less the entire chassis of the ST205) of a ST205 GT-Four and custom fabricate it to work on your car. A ridiculous amount of work if you ask me. Other than that, you really have no choice but to stay FWD. Now, your best bet is to use either the 2nd or 3rd gen 3SGTE from either an ST185 or ST205 and use it with an E153 (Camry/Solara V6, MR2) tranny. You can use a 5sFE's tranny if you have one. Buying a front clip will save you alot of trouble, but that AWD tranny is worthless for you to use. Sell it and make some money back. But the key here is...RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH!
