technically couldnt the 5s motor work? we use 5s tranny with the 3s in a swap but essentially you could do it backwards with a 3s alltrac tranny and drivetrain fit it to a 5sfe motor. it would be pointless. but unique at the same time. am i wrong?

Your right, but then we'd end up like the Subaru Impreza RS. Underpowered AWD. The 5s is slow anyway. Adding the AWD would really put a strain on the motor and slow the car down a good bit. Most people who've got the cash for the AWD also have the money for the 3s. I doubt you'll ever see a AWD 5s powered Celica.
