i own a 97 st with a 7afe in it, which is slowly going down hill. i want to put the 4age motor in it. so is there anyone who can give me some info on the swap?

The 7A - 4A swap is probably one of the easier swaps for the Celica. Since the motors are both A-series they can be swapped and directly implanted. The 4A-GE will drop straight into an ST's motor mounts and bolt up with the C-52 transmission (however if you get a 4A-GE Silver or blacktop I would suggest using the trans that comes with). The only thing needed for the swap is wiring. Wiring is a tedious process, and is best left handled to the professionals, so when you get your motor and such for the swap get in touch with Dr. Tweak (just search for the member name) and send him the 4A-GE and 7A-FE harnesses. He can rewire the harness for you so that all you have to do is hook it back up. It'll run you $300ish for the work on the harness, but you should be able to swap the motors pretty quick and easy with the right tools (Cherry picker, air tools, etc.)
