I'm thinking of swapping the 1MZFE V-6 from a Camry including the auto into my new Celica. Call it the V-Celica. I'll keep it auto since it's going to be my wife's car and she wants auto, plus it's unique that way.
Has it ever been done? -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

wouldnt you guys think that the engine size would be a great dif in weight in the celi. Make it more nose heavy? It would prolly help a good bit for the traction issues, but for handling? Id still love to see it.

To answer your question, weight would not be a real issue. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
