Questions about the ST185 Swap, Some details needed Options

[SilverCell94]

hey guys,

due to resources in parts and money i have decided to do the ST 185 swap rather than the ST205. I have done so much research on the ST205 that i have completely neglected looking into the ST185.

I have tried the search and there is alot of scathered information on the 2nd gen swap, so im hoping that all questions and answers can be dedicated to this thread.

so here are some question that i have:

-what kinda tranny is best for this swap? will a sw20 mr2 tranny work?
-what axles are needed if the tranny is swapped out?
-what kinda modifications are needed to dropped the motor/tranny in? will it bolt right up?
-what about the harness? does it plug in?
-is there a big difference in the OEM motor and the JDM motor? does it make a difference during the swap?
-what fuel pumps are you using as injectors?

i know some of you guys completed this swap sucessfully, please give me your input. if it's not asking too much how about a write up on this.

thanks for all the help

TRUE or FALSE?? about the 2nd gen 3sgte swap

-when you use the e153 tranny you do not have to modify the tranny?
-the axles will have to be modified, using sw20 (mr2) inner axles and all-trac (90-93 st185) outers?
-you can use 94-99 celica GT shifter cables with the e153 tranny?
-GT motor mounts will work fine for the st185 and e153 set-up?

thanks for the help
