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

please, PLEASE use the stickys.
your questions are ones that come up every other day here on 6gc, thats why we have the stickys, to help noobs like yourself get the info they need without having to post this 4 times a week. please use them. both the ones in this forum, and the forced induction forum (since the 3sgte is a FI motor) -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
