As far as engine conversions go, this is a pretty easy one. Because they're both M series engines there are no major modifications required; the engine mounts are compatible, the bellhousing is the same so you don't have to swap transmissions (although it might be a good idea if it's auto), and if the 7M sump is incompatible with your crossmember you can swap the 5M one over.
Most of the work is in the wiring, but the 7M-GE engine management is pretty simple so as long as you can read a wiring diagram and wield a soldering iron you won't have a problem. Then there's all the little things like hooking up fuel lines, cooling system, alternator etc but none of that is much of a challenge.
The whole process is pretty much identical to putting a 7M in a MA61 Supra which has been done a zillion times. As mentioned above it's pretty well documented on the CelicaSupra forums.
