hey guys and gals, im a complete skyline newbie and i was just wondering if it is possible to swap my crappy lil 91 celica engine with a pretty skyline motor. I know the attesa (sp?) system would not work due to the fact that my car is a fwd. The reason i would want to go skyline is b/c as i said b4 the celica motor sux and isnt quite worth buying a turbo for or buying any kind of performance part LOL....and b4 anyone suggests that i get a diff car just know that i have already put 10k into body kit, paint job, competition lvl stereo system, and rims...so i love this car, i would just really like for it to be faster...if there is no way for a skyline to drop in let me know and i will just go with a turbo kit and a few other performance parts and be satisfied with 350 max hp (no n2o)

I highly doubt it since it is a straight six and along at that. Even if you could fabircat the engine mounts, conver it to RWD, find the gearbox, drive shaft, and rear end. You will need the entire set of engine and instument looms. Not to mention a complete new instrument cluster.
The whole exercise would be very very very expensive and time consuming.
