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!

if you put a 5s-fe in it(2.2liter) i would go with 2 or 2 1/4... 2 1/2 gets loud and imo makes the car week at low speeds. im currently running 2 1/4 and it seams the fastest of the 3 or 4 setups i had.
