Ok so I know that importing GT-4's is illegal, but what about taking a junker 6gc and throwing the GT-4 engine, trans, bumber, hood, etc is that illegal or legal for the U.S.A

Yes sir you could do that but you could also do a lot of things.

I am a computer geek so I would not even try to do a do it yourself awd conversion. I dont have the means nor the skills nor the time nor a place. I am fairly certain that most local mechanics would never agree to do the conversion and local performance shops would either send me off or charge me a cajillion dollars.

On this site we have had several people do this... except that one celica was shortly sold and so was the other and one was just completed and probably will get sold before we all die in 2012. On the other hand 2 common variables are always present. Time and money. Money is accountable for but time is not. One must have a spare vehicle and probably for prolonged amount of time.

I hear that you are a gearhead so this type of work should be a walk in the park for you. You have my blessing to do this project and then tell us how you did it.
