what would you do?, engine swap or not? Options

clip 1500 - 2200 depending on where you buy it I would go jarco... thats for a st185clip
s54 tranny - you can get it from a junkyard for around 300 I would suggest getting all three tranny mounts from the junkyard at the same time. Tranny mounts fromt the dealer arent cheap. The mount that sits right below the rad was like 79 dollars? The one that sits against the fender was around 90?
axles - 99 dollars from advance...just make sure you tell them its for your exact car they screwed mine up about 3x.
harness - tweek makes a harness for around 300$ I think? Its much much easier having someone do all the wiring for you.
motor Mounts are not cheap fromt he delaership if thats where your getting them from.
shifter cables are 135$ from the dealer. Somethign else you can get from a junkyard if they have a 6gc there.

I would also suggest an front mount as the top mount doesnt help out much.

thanks for the info...well i looked at a jdm place and they had the clip for 1850...i dont know wut all comes with it...the site hasnt been workin so i cant see the parts list...and i dont plan on buyin anything from the dealer unless i have too...and another question...does the exhaust have to be custom fit to the 3sgte?

yah ur car is an at200 if its an ST. st185 (90-93 alltrac) is commonly used because this engine was released here in the US in the 90-93 alltrac and the 91-95 mr2 turbo so parts would be easier to get than the st205 (6th gen GT4) that was never released here in the states.

welcome. this sounds like its your first swap(no offense). ur best bet is to get a full front clip. either from an ST185(alltrac 90-93 celica 2nd gen) or ST205 (94-99 GT4 3rd gen). 3rd gen is newer and has a few more pros, but more expensive than 2nd gen. yes, celica st's are AT200. AT200, ST185, ST205, etc are all chassis codes. goodluck and keep us updated.

get your clip from jarco.. I wouldnt buy clips from anywhere else.
