So I have been thinking about this for some time and I'm not sure if its anywhere on here, so I was wondering if a 3S would fit in a 93-97 Corolla? I figure there is a chance at it since the ST Celi has the same engine as a 'rolla DX, you know, the 1.8 7AFE. I know the ST needs a motor mount change in order to fit a 3S, and since it seems like a lot of the 6G-ers drop 3S's in their underpowered STs, I figured I would ask you guys.


I am also curious as to what else the 3SGTE would fit into... I'd like to hear some informed answers, and oppinions. Hopefully I will get that.

Not only is the 3SGTE into a Corolla feasible, I'm planning on doing it in the near future. A 3S into a Camry is easy, basically the same as a Celica, and it's been done a few times. The 3S into the Corolla hasn't been done but maybe once in the US, a couple times elsewhere.

In order to swap it into the Corolla though, I'm pretty certain that all four engine mounts would need some fabrication, plus custom axles, and obviously exhaust and all the accessories.
