Finally got a 6gen!, In need of advice Options

after a long time of searching for the right celica, i came across a deal i couldnt refuse.
i bought a celica with a perfect black leather interior and pretty good body. its a 94 2.2 gt five speed.


the bad thing, was that it has a seized engine. i was planning on upgrading the block anyway so i didnt mind.

my goal is to reach at least 250 whp. so im going the 5sfte route.

i dont want to bother swaping for a 3sgte.

i read somewhere that the 98-99 5sfe was better to use for a turbo application instead of the 93-97...*correct me if im wrong*

if that is true, should i just replace my 94 block for a good running 98 block? instead of wasting time rebuilding my 94?

thanks in advance, any hints to help me reach my goal will be appreciated, and constructive criticism.

dont worry bout going to ODBII. yeah if you didnt get the car i was going to, i had the cash in hand. chances are your bottoom end is toast. you can buy a brand spanking new short block from toyota for about 1600. im sure your head is ok, just a few gaskets and it can all be swapped out and you are up and running.
