i am curious if anyone has ever seen a non toyota motor fitted into our gen celica or corolla for that matter. i am intrested in fitting a jdm nissan sr20de motor into my st. the motor mounts seem to be in fairly the same locations. a usdm wireharness is cheap and easy to come by. other than mounting it, and getting a tranny with axles that will work what else would have to be taken into consideration?

Don't follow hype over motors...I started reading up again on super street & etc mags & all they talk about is honda & nissan (srd20 w/e it is) why? cause people are too stupid sometimes to know what they want & get what other people have (ex: honda civic's everywhere with the same kits & etc.) If you want the motor for some specific reason, then hey as they always seem to say.."if you got money, anything is possible" but don't let your motives be driven by the crowd. Like everyone else is suggesting, 3s-gte is deffinetly a reliable & most obvious choice for a motor since is a swap & drop with out too much extra labor over it.

Just wondering though...well what yota asked. ^_^
