Like I stated in the other post, I found out a few days ago that my engine is going bad. Which means engine swap. I'm not sure on many things so I figured I'd make another post asking questions I may have. Please try to speak in n00b because I don't know much about cars. So here goes:
Engines I'm looking at: 1mzfe (V6) 4agze 4age Questions: 1) Will any of these give me bad traction on take off? Dr. Tweak stated the 1mzfe puts out 190 HP and has more Torque than the 3sgte. Not sure about the other 2 engines. 2) Which would get better Gas Mileage? 3) What exactly is a Tranny? Is that the Transmission? 4) What Tranny would you recommend? Camry V6? Other? 5) How much roughly for the Tranny? 6) Which engine would you recommend personally? I don't want the 3sgte, out of my price range I'm leaning more towards the V6 cause well it's a V6 and you don't see many Celicas with a V6 in it, but I'm starting to worry about Traction. Car will be a street car so no drag. That's all I can think of Price Range is probably 5,000 may go alittle over but not much |

I would focus mostly on a 4agze because it does have a little more power at the dyno than a 20V. + you will at least have a peace of mind that your local auto part store actually carries parts for your engine when it breaks down. As for the 3sgte its more work and more parts to buy if you have an ST, but it does also make more power in the long run. Stick to an engine that you could find parts to easily and not have to order over seas.
