So, no other tranny bolts up directly into the Celica? That's ok... I have to fab everything else anyway. More info on the swap please... Pics would be great too. I am about to pull the old 20r this weekend and need to decide what direction to take as far as the restoration.

Well the w58 is a direct swap as far as I know, so that should be no problem. Can anybody chime in on where to get the adapters in the US? Also is there any other parts I can use out a LS400? Suspension, brakes, ect? Really I don't want to get an entire car unless it's beneficial. I only have so...

Do you think the w50 will hold stock or slightly above stock 1uzfe power? Where can I get the bellhousing and what type of flywheel? I'm here in the USA... Las Vegas. I have found a complete LS400 for cheap so I will have all original parts, or is it better just to get the motor for us oldschoolers?

77 RA29 Funny how things work out. I joined this site awhile back when I was planning a v8 swap in my 94 Celica GT, Now I am back with a 77 GT. I have a liftback 5 speed that is in need of restoration. So I will be pulling the old and tired 20r and doing a swap. What transmission are you...

Alright, first new thread. Hope it's in the right spot. First off love the forum. Now to business... I am the ultra proud owner of a 94 Celica Gt. I have had her for 10 years now, and she's my baby!. Anyway, I was hit by a drunk about a year ago and have been in the process off rebuilding her...

Thanks, I have seen his Celica a few times before. If I remember correctly he has a Rwd tranny in there, because our original motors are transverse mounted. I love the twin turbo setup he has with about 400+ Hp. That's about where I want to be. I'm going to have to do somewhat of a custom rear...

Thanks, my 5sfe does that now and it's only a 2.2 4 cylinder. Plus I want manual, and seems like a task in itself on the 1u.

Yes, I have found them (1u) for as low as $300!, and the LS1 for like $3000! It's just hard to deny that. I can just imagine what I could do with the extra $2700. ( Turbo, internals, help pay for my RWD conversion, ya know stuff like that)

What Jibbby said or what I said?

LS1? Even though they are like 5x more than the 1uz?

Ok, I think I should specify want I want out of the car. I would like to have 400 to 500 rwhp with equal torque, rwd conversion, nice handling, SAFE, reliable, daily driver. I will probably go caged with at least 4 point harness, since I will not have any airbags. I was considering using the...

I also think it would be an easier swap with out vvti.

Alright, first post, and on a hot topic to boot! First off love the forum. Now to business... I am the ultra proud owner of a 94 Celica Gt. I have had her for 10 years now, and she's my baby!. Anyway, I was hit by a drunk about a year ago and have been in the process off rebuilding her since...
