need advice on a swap Options

[Zimluura]

hello, i love my car and want to make it faster. i'd like to make it awd as well, but i'll look into that more after auto->manual and after a 3sgte swap. since i have a 99, and i live in the usa, i need to get that year or newer in an engine to be legal right? this seems to restrict me to a caldina engine. legality seems like a great excuse to go for the extra 6bhp.

question 1
but what if the engine that comes in the clip is 2 months older than my car, does anyone know if that makes a difference in legality in the us?

question 2
does anyone know how much harder the st215 swap will be than the st205?

thanks in advance

since i'd ultimately like to do an awd conversion...

/* incoming random ramblings - if you are offended by far-fetched project ideas please stop reading now */

...and k-esd has that cool V6...i've started to (very loosely) ponder getting a 2003+ highlander, and putting the engine and drivedrain (custom where needed) in a celica.

It's good to take excessive precaution, you are in the right state of mind, hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Also, for the V6 AWD conversion, you're best bet by far is the GT-Four drivetrain (w/ V6 instead of 3SGTE)
That would be the awsomest celica ever, my biggest issue right now is traction, AWD would just simply ahhhhhhh hahahaha *twitch*, ok i'm fine, no really
