Swapping a New 5sfe in place of the 94, Things that are needed Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

While changing my oil today, I noticed a couple of things that screem, "You will have to fix this motor soon!" So, I called up my dad and he wants to just put a new motor in it. If we were to get a new motor, what would be the issues with swapping it. And I don't mean another 94-95 5sfe. I mean a newer 96+ 5sfe. He might try to pull that 93 and under 5sfe crap with me, but I'm not going to let it happen if I have to stick with a 5sfe. It's newer, or a performance motor. I'm putting my foot down on the cheap dad.

if you have a 94-95 and want to swap to a 96+ ( i always recommend a 98+ for the stock metal headgasket), you'll have to use the distributor from your old motor, and possibly the EGR valve.
if its outta a celica, that should be about it, that i can remember anyway...lol
if your using a camry motor or whatever you may also have to change the water by-pass pipes, and possibly the water necks. basicly the best thing to do i just go over each sensor , water necks, ect, quick and make sure theyre the same. if not, just switch out whatever is needed from the old motor to the new one.

I plan on going over everything to make sure it's perfect. I can't believe the motor is giving me problems. But at the same time, I use to do a lot of drag racing. And I pegged the rev limiter at about 8-9k rpm about a month and a haff ago. And, the car has 160k on it. Can't be too surprised. It's been leaking oil slowly for a long time. The rest of the car is in A+ shape. I've had it for 5 years now, and I hope to keep it till I die. Kind of a dumb ass choice to pick, but you know how that goes when you get attached to a car, at least some of you do. It's like a pet.

EDIT: Forgot, thanks for the advice on the 98+ moddles. I knew that, but I had forgotten about it.
