Ok, as many of you know, my 94 celi is wrecked and I will be keeping it and doing a swap on it. i know i can put a 2jzgte in it, but i dont know how hard it will be.... any ideas? i have time and money so i dont wanna hear any crap about my idea being stupid... and yes, i already know itl have to be rwd, but would it be possible to make it awd too? the cars a frame assembly was ripped off so im having to repair it or i can make it rwd and drop a 2jz... comments and support greatly appreciated....

If you have to ask... then NO. Take all of that money you have and buy a supra. Then spend all of that time you have driving it. The end.

Research says many things. It's just a matter of who you ask. Allow me to say, it's not worth it or even feasible because the amount of time/money/custom fabrication involved is quite beyond most DIY people. Basically, you'll need to hack up the firewall, hack up the front interior, hack up the front support, custom build a streeing rack, hack up the rear-end, custom build a rear subframe, design support points for whatever rear-end you want to use, custom fabricate a from crossmember and reinforce the front frame rails, custom engine mount points, swap in the motor, custom driveline, custom shifter, depending on the rear-end, custom rear axles, and then you might get something that won't fall apart.

After all that's done, you still get a 3000 pound car with sub-par suspension and unknown weight balance and handling capabilities.
