2 Stage 3SGTE Swap thread, Stage 1.. almost done =) Options

EDIT: 8/22/09
Ok guys before commenting just know my goal is 330 hp until all 2 stages is complete.. so keep that in mind when reading my setup:

95 toyota celica GT
ST205 3sgte swap
GT tranny and axles
Stage 3 clutch kit and flywheel(deciding between 2 I like)
EDIT: ST205 fuel pump
3 inch exhaust(already installed)
ST205 downpipe

Now in order to move on to stage 3 I need to figure out which engine I want.. parts for the 185(non RC) I have found to be relatively easy in case something breaks.. alot of sites have parts for the engine.. but it turns out the 185 wiring is harder than the 205.. im leaning towards the 205.. although i think finding parts for the engine is harder.. the swap should be a bit easier and at stock I would be right at my goal which is 250 hp running stock... i know for a fact there wont be an urge to raise booast levels since stage 2(AWD Conversion) of my swap would not be completed.. and this is my only car which i use for work and not for racing intentions.. 4 now.. lol

so basically I got 2 questions that have been killing me for a while now..
axles.. is it possible to mix and match GT tranny with 3sge axles.. if so that would be a delight but I highly doubt you can.. but im asking for clarification.. and 2.. what engine do you guys think I should go with.. 185 or 205?

* A little baby update *

hey guys.. as of right now:

yesterday had some issues with the ECU and wiring for the clutch starter.. resolved that today so now its turning again..
I have some fuel problems now.

It seems as though the engine is not getting any fuel.. Im thinking perhaps it is because I still have the stock 5sfe fuel pump in there and it cannot send the fuel to the engine. I do remember being told once before that It was possible to still drive the car with the stock 5sfe fuel pump.. So i dont know if it is in fact the fuel pump

Another possibility would be the fuel injectors.. but they have been tested and it is working fine.. as a matter of fact the car started for a 1/2 second with I guess the remaining fuel from the engine before it shut off.

Has this been a problem for anyone else who has done a 3rd gen swap? what do you guys think the solution is?

I am having the ST205 fuel pump put in perhaps tomorrow, maybe it will start.. I let you guys know what happens if we get the fuel pump installed tomorrow
