Seeing as how my engine is at about 170k miles now and i think he valve stems are going bad im looking into getting a new engine. All the quotes on th valve seals were about 1.2k, and id rather just put that towards a new engine.
If i had a place and time to do the swap i would go with a 3s for sure, but i gotta have a car to drive cause my celi is my only car. I was wanting to know the price of labor at a shop doing either a direct 5s to 5s swap, or how much it would be for the 3s. I would eventually turbo the 5s,i just know its a lost cause on the one i have now. thanks for any info  I just got a new job, so i can finally afford nice stuff

Exactly like 95celgt. You will need to send the celica's original engine wiring harness with the uncut complete wiring harness from the 3sgte. Make sure that the 3sgte's engine wiring harness has all it's connectors so that the conversion has all connectors to make the harness plug and play. Dr. Tweak has done many toyota engine swaps and wiring harness including mine's so pm or go to his website at http://www.phoenixtuning.com for his email address and details of his work. Good luck.
