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

Yep, like I stated before...buy the clip it'll save you trouble from sourcing miscellaneous parts. MR2 rear clip will work, but the mounts and harness are going to be much more different than the ST185. Oh and about buying an Alltrac engine...good luck finding an Alltrac engine with less than 90k on it without actually buying the entire car. JDM motors have low miles and usually come with the JDM ECU that is 25hp over the USDM 3sgte. NOTHING in a clip is useless. If you can't use it...sell it and make some money. And by the way...good looking out JGreening! Yes, if you want to save trouble and money, buy my car...hehe. God knows, I wouldn't spend 6 months and $5k again on a swap, but hey...that's just me...I'm poor and lazy.
