Ok imagine this... 3.4L toyota tacoma engine.. in a 5th gen celica? My friend is selling his motor to do a 350 swap and im thinkin of try a swap.
Hes giving me the computer and EVERYTHING that comes on the engine..
Will that motor fit in a celica and i must have a 5spd so will the celica tranny bolt to it or is their a 5 spd tranny for that motor that will fit in my celica? Any help is great im definetly wanting to try this.

wont work unless you conveter to rwd
the only way you could get it to work is if somehow you had someone create you a V transmission, bil norwood invented it, its a transmision that would aloow a motor to be non transverse in a fwd car.
plus i doubt it would fit in the engine bay w out modifications
in other words, no unless you got about $10,000+ i wouldnt even try it

oh you have an all track? thats a stupid idea anyway, the 3sgte has more potentail then a 5vzfe engine if your going for hp to $$$ wise....
plus the tacoma engine only has 190 hp 220 tq, the 3sgte has 200 hp 200 tq, you would actually be slower and your car would ahdnle like shit becuase of all the additional weight

i think he has all-trac parts, not necessarly an all-trac. He could find another V6 of some sort that wouldn't be that heavy. I've seen a lot of V6s weigh less than some I4s. Not sure about that 3.4L, but maybe a camry motor?

Yeh i have a Gt-s but its all wheel drive. Non turbo 5sfe.I looked up toyo sport for a rwd conversion and couldnt find a thing ,idk if i just didnt know how to navigate very weel through the site or if they didnt have it. I will keep looking around for some kinda v6 that might fit easier tho and rwd conversion, probably just do a google.? haha
