questions about the 3S-GTE Options

[wrathc5525]

i am still in the "homework" phase of building a celica. I still happen to have a couple questions first of all what is the difference in the different generations of the 3S-GTE and what is the best for the ST204?? i was planing on buying a front clip of a 94-95 gt4 and pullin the motor out of that and building it then swaping it in to the gt with a e153 transaxle. no i have read many different things about the swap itself i have read that all i gotta do is pull the 5S-FE and drop in the 3S-GTE no problem then i have also read that i am going to have to do some custom fab work as far as motor mounts etc.. Now from what i have read if i use the E153 transaxle i wont have to worry about a different pressure plate etc.. i can just get one for an mr2 but what about the cv axles?? i pretty much got my whole plan on what i will be doing i am just waiting to finish my research then get out of college.

ok now what about the o.e.m. mounts with the 5s-fe i have read that they will work and read that they wont? also has anyone here have like major internal work done to the 3s-gte. cause i am planing on the jun 2.2 stroker kit, jun, 256 duration intake cam shaft and 264 duration exhaust cam shaft along with jun titanium retainers, adjustable cam gears, valves, guides, and i am probably going to do port and polish the head myself.
