I am thinking about swapping the engine in my celica for something a little bit better. I have done some research and have decided to do the ST205 or the ST185 engine swap. I was wondering if you guys knew of any good websites with information about the swap, or where I could get one for a good price. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but the ST205 is All Wheel Drive and I only need rear wheel drive. How hard would it be to do the swap in AWD, and how hard for RWD? The ST185 is RWD if I am not mistaken, so I would imagine it would be an easier swap. If I want to do a full swap, what do I need? I know I need an engine, tranny, and electrical, but as far as axles go, what do I need? I drive a 1996 Celica GT. Thanks for any help on this subject.
