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

yea i figured that everythin is worth givin a try tho.
like i said b4 ill jus go with what works, but also trying
to use as many parts off my clip as possible to not
have alot of things left behind so bear with me

what would be the best place to get them? as much as to not get junk parts that will break quick
junkyard? havent heard many possitives new is always better right anyone have good experiences?
forums? might take a while
shop? do they even havem? anyone know? maybe if am lucky theyll have one side? lol
ebay? eeeehhhhhh it works? anything to look out for to get the right part?

the spacer ive read of getting it not much of where or how? any specifics? do i gotta buy somethin else? or is it within the 4 axles?

is non lsd even worth it? lol everyone says go lsd opinions?

ill probably hunt the tranny down by this weekend as well as other parts

what CAN i use out of the awd tranny? cables, rear mount,flywheel? some say you have to get it resurfaced
am i missing somethin?

regular turbo clutch or stage 3 or 6 puck
i know what they do but if i plan on not going up on HP or boost do i really need a 6 puck? probably not dont need a lecture
looking more for experiences of how a stock turbo clutch holds compared to a stage 3 or above
