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 -------------------- |

yeah, awd is a hard one to pull off. supposedly you have to move the gas tank too? i don't remember, but it'd require a bunch more work. and i've heard problems about the chassis not being able to take it. so best bet is to just stay FWD. i don't remember exactly, but i heard if you use the v6 tranny, you can use the alltrac front drive axles? what i do know for sure, is the stock 5sfe tranny should hold out pretty well. you can upgrade the synchro's if you think they'll be a problem. but a dude around my area is pushing 320WHP in his 5SFTE setup. and no problems. also, i think you are gonna have to extend the wires for the wiring harness..because the hole on the firewall is opposite side. well thast all for now, probably all wrong but i tried..at least most of it is correct for a 5th gen
