Okay guys, time to spill the beans. I am buying a 98 GT 5speed with 200k miles on it. I am buying from a dealership so the engine wont last as long as being kept up to date like a real owner of a celica would do. Does any of you all have an estimate to when I would need a new engine? I'm going to try to nurse it and baby the hell out of the engine till its last breath but its last breath is inevitable.

IIRC, the exhaust manifold is different than a celicas, has something to do with the angle. Although engine for engine I think that they might be the same, as far as mounting and what not...dont quote me though on that one. Im sure that someone here has thrown in a 5S from a Camry (do some searching)
