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 ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by LimitedGT4: May 3, 2011 - 5:14 PM |

ultimately.. the E153 is the way to go if you can find one. around my area they are a lil hard to come by but the GT tranny isnt to hard to find for me, thats why i recommended the s54 tranny. but if you can find the E153 for a good price, then go for it. everything seems to be in the right "ball park" for estimates.
