How much do you guys think it would cost to have a 95 Celica ST engine rebuilt?Im thinking about having it done. My Celica engine has 189,000 miles on it and it has most alot of its power. frown.gif

yes you can use the 7afe trans on the 4age if you like. i believe the 7a has better gearing then the 4a so its up to you.

also screw the 5s swap idea. some of these people amaze me with their ideas. but just so you are wondering, you will have to rewire your harness to compensate for the new ecu, change out transmissions, change the motor mount location....yada yada yada you get the point. 2-3k later you have nothing better then a hole in your wallet.

either buy a used or rebuilt 7a and just direct swap it or buy a 4a series motor and swap that. you are still looking at around 2-3k when all is done.

I recommend a "new" 7a unless your another person that thinks their car can run 12s with a built motor by spending $2,000.
