I have more 'iffys' to throw at my elders.., going engine shopping soon Options

[monkeywrench]

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?

how about you try and shoehorn a small block chevy in there? you'd probably have to make some modifications to pretty much everything, but who cares! its only money.

in all seriousness, stickys cover this very well. research what you can, then come back and ask more questions.
