Rhode Island Project Celica Options

[LimitedGT4]

hey, not sure if this is the right place to post this and sorry if its not, but here goes.

I live in RI and am trying to do an engine swap and cant decide between the Beams, GT4 or a 4age silver or black top.
i know theres a couple of people in this forum that live in RI and have awesome cars but i havent been able to get their attention or help so lets see if you guys can.
i have a 97 ST limited and so far ive gather that i need new mounts, tranny, possibly exhaust, trans axles, and complete engine for a beams or GT4 swap
and ill need an engine if i plan to go with the 4age or am i missing something else also.

as far as the wiring goes for the beams engine is it a plug n play if i get a celica st202 front clip? or am i better off getting parts seperately

as my project progresses i will continue to post updates, hopefully batman and hurley will help me out.

ill also post pics later

thanks for help in advance

ok guys, last topic on the tranny this is whats gonnamke my mind up
so i did some figures to see which one is more reasonable for what am getting


this is a price compare list all prices are roundabouts


Comparison

E-153 mr2 turbo

tranny = 300-750
GT4 shifter cables = have it
3sgte disk = 300-450
3sgte pressure plate=
3sgte flywheel= have it
axles= 200-400 batman said st185/mr2 combo would st205/mr2 combo work? remmbr have a frnt clip
gt4 tranny mount= have it

total = 800-1500



GT tranny or 3SGE = 300
GT shifter cables= ?? 20-50 ??
5sfe/3sge disk kit = 400
3sgte flywheel = have it
5sfe Axels= 200
GT mounts= 250-400
total = 1100-1500


from what im seein the e153 could potentially be more cost effective for me if not the same as the gt tranny

what are your thoughts? did i miss something? my estimates off?

dont need lectures or do research comments, if your not gonna give usefull feedback dont leave any
all i need is verification of my estimates
