Brand new Celica owner, have a few quick questions..

1. I bought the car for less than 3k. previous owner dropped a 2.0 block in it from a 2000 Camry(sad right?) what is going to be my price range of getting a 2.2(or better) back in it?

2. are engine swaps really as awful as I've heard on these things?

3. whats a good sounding(not ricer) exhaust for these babies?

I owned a 87 Porsche 944 before this, and have thought this'll be alittle easier to work on.
I'm hoping thats accurate.


Thanks for the help in advance!

Even for a full 5sfe swap, with a new s54 tranny should only run around 800$, unless you find a deal then it would be even cheap. Engine swaps for guys with STs are a pain because they have to change the tranny,motor mounts and a bunch of other things to GT. But for GTs its almost just plug and play.
