Help to understand 2wd to AWD Options

[Celica35Ricer]

If i were to get the 3SGTE with an AWD tranny, and want to put it in my 1994 Celica ST, and I am given the engine with the LSD 5 spd tranny and center differential, is that all i need to have it work after install? or are there other pieces i would need.

You would need to remove the fuel tank and spare tire space from a ST or Gt to fit the drivetrain components. You could use a gt4 fuel tank or just getting a fuel cell may be easier. If I remember correctly you'll need to change the motor mounts on a ST, GT will swap over. Plus the tranny mounts as well. The rear suspension is needed as well.

thats just the prep work. then you have to figure out how to mount/fabricate the whole rear end.

Basically your saying through this thread if I don't have like an extra 5k+ to get the items for my front end and rear end, then I can't do this?

its going to cost you 10grand to swap the car and convert to awd, at least! . and thats if you do 90% of the work yourself.
