Do you guys know how much it would cost to rebuild an engine on a 1995 Celica ST?

Option 1:Rebuild the engine only if you know your way around it or would like to have some experience. It will save you money but you will have some down time on the car if its your only vehicle. Because some shops will take about a day or two to rebuild your head if they are busy.
Option 2: Pay a little more and find a good running motor.Drop it in yourself and get it running in a day.(may be you can even get one for less than rebuilding the head.)
Option 3: If your not mechanically incline to do option 1 or 2. Its cheaper to source out a motor and have a shop swap it. Some shops will charge almost the same or more if they pull the head off and reinstall it. Per price for parts and labor. Junk yards will have the motor for relatively cheap if you search and know how to find a good motor. This would be the route i would take if i want to get my car back out on the roads asap.

If you want go ahead and rebuild the head or block i recommend finding a reputable shop and shop around for the best prices if you have a spare DD. Good luck.
