I started my swap last night! Got the engine out and the 3sgte mounted onto the 5s-fe trans. within about 4 hours. The motor mount next to the timing cover had to be modified to fit correctly. Ive heard before its a direct fit for the 5s-fe motor mounts. Its not! Only one bolt lines up without modifications. I took the mount to the grinding wheel and managed to make it fit well. If anybody wants pics give me your e-mail and Ill send you some pics of the mount. Hope this will better prepare some of the future swappers! later-

Its a 95 gt celica body and a 1991 celica alltrac engine with the gt transmission. I ended up using the 5s-fe mount that attatches to the engine. I spent about 20 minutes grinding it away. I did a TON of researching but I was under the impression that the gt motor mounts was a direct fit, and the st celica mounts had to be modified. Oh well, I figured it out. Ill put a pic of the mount on my profile. I dont know how to link my pics to this site any other way. They are on my computer. I can e-mail them though. Well back out to the cold garage. Later............

QUOTE(toyotacrazy @ Dec 9, 2006 - 4:28 PM) [snapback]509166[/snapback] I dont know how to link my pics to this site any other way. use www.imageshack.us, upload it there. after you host it, copy the "direct link to image" url. click the "insert image" button (the tree) when posting and paste the image url you just copied when prompted. preview your post to make sure it worked. hope that helps. -------------------- ![]() I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
