96 7afe (M) into a 95 7afe(A) celica., question reguards to swapping it over. Options

[mandrek]

hey all i have a few questions that a few hours of idle searches and reading have not been able to help me find the info that i need..

i have a 95 ST auto that had the motor go out on, and i just picked up a 96 manual st as a parts car. right now ALL that i want to do is swap the motor over. JUST the motor, ill may do an auto to manual swap later, but not what im concerned about ATM. now i know that there is a difrence between the two 7Afe's (95-to-96) in reguards to power output from the factory. but what it was understanding was that it was just a tune from the factory, and the addition of some emissions stuff.

what i would like to do right now at this point is get my car back on the road. so i was wondering if there are any difrences in reguards to the motor that will give me problems when switching it over, plugs, sensors, ecu-harness, etc..

or will i be able to just pull the motor from the 96, slap it on the auto, drop it in the 95, and plug everything up. and get on my way?

i could write more and make this alot more winded than it is, but i want to keep it simple.

thank you in advance for any relative info.

mandrek.

IMO it'd be easier to do the auto-manual swap. repin starter wire, drill 3 holes, mount clutch pedal and brake pedal, swap shifter assy & cables, then drop in unit as a whole.

i think the auto-manual swap in this case would be faster than pulling the auto off ur blown motor (so-so job) pulling the manual off the new(easier) swapping flywheels, clutch, torque converter (dont use an impact...), and stabbing the auto onto the new motor(a btich). just my opinion...

but take it from a guy who did this exact swap in a weekend alone...
