I really would like to swap in the 1997-2000 solara v6 engine since it has 200hp/214lbs tq. I want to know everything that I need to make the swap. I know a few things, but I am not sure on others... correct me if I am wrong. Also, on the parts, please let me know what car it should to come from (ie Celica gt or camry)

Axels- yes
engine mounts- yes
rear brake conversion- yes
ecu- yes
tranny- yes
exhaust-yes
sway bars-??
struts-??
radiator-??
A/C- ?? (will mine work?)
cruise-?? (will mine work?)

Anything else that I might need, fill me in.. smile.gif

Thanks for your help

well I'd like to do an USDM 5th gen alltrac turbo engine, but those are hard to find, Solara/ camry isn't as hard

USDM... yeah... but JDM's are pretty easy to get ahold of. Are you looking specifically for USDM due to issues with emissions?

I'm looking for USDM b/c its easier to get new parts if something breaks. I don't want to have to deal with shipping from japan

Parts b/w a USDM ST185 and a JDM ST185 are interchangeable.
