Ok, if my '94 celica ST is FWD Manual (does auto or manual mean anything to choosing an engine, anyway?), and I want to keep it FWD (i don't have the money or tools to convert it to RWD like i so would love to), am I limited in my options for a new engine? The 7afe in my baby is shot to hell, and I want to experiment. At first I wanted to put a 3sgte in it, but I don't know if that engine is meant for RWD cars only, or you can put it into a FWD?
Then I was thinking about finding the V6 engine out of a wrecked (not too badly) '04-'06 Camry (I forgot the engine name). I doubt I'd be able to find a 4agze, so I want something big and powerful but slightly new so i have decent fuel economy. Would most engines (besides the engines on the Sticky 'engines that WILL NOT fit into a celica') pretty much fit into the celica's engine bay (with the little adjustments of motormounts and whatnot)? Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do? Or what cars I could inspect in my local junkyards? I know I want to stay within the Toyota family. If I got a different engine, would my celicas computer be compatible with the new one? -------------------- If knowledge is the key then idiots are locked out

Yes, the 3sgte engine works with FWD. However, you're going to need to get a new transmission for it because your transmission will not work with it. With any different engine you get, you will need to get a new ECU that goes with that engine.
