Would it be really bad for me to put a 3.73 diff in my Celica XX with a 1GGTE? If it doesn't work out in the end thats all well and good, may be able to find something else, but someone has a mk2 i may be able to swap the whole subframe out of so i'll have my F-series LSD.
Whats your opinions?

My opinion is you should get it then swap it for my 4.11:1 diff. That ratio sounds perfect for a 2JZ!

Assuming you have a W58 and a tyre circumference of 1965mm (calculated using stock MA61 tyre size), a 4.11:1 ratio will give you a theoretical top speed of 256.5km/h at 7000rpm. A 3.73:1 ratio will bump this up to 282.6km/h. How often do you think you'll be driving above 250?
At freeway speeds (100km/h), the 3.73 diff will have the engine spinning at 2500rpm, compared to 2750rpm for the 4.11 diff.
Given the revvy nature of the 1G, I would be more inclined to use a lower diff ratio (4.11 or 4.3). If possible you should go for a spin in a 1G-powered car to try it for yourself!
Seriously though, if you don't end up using the 3.73 let me know. Mewants!

Haha yeah,
Put it this way, its not often I come across a whole F-series rear from a Mk2 to plug in place of my T-series
I do a lot of freeway driving, so the 3.73 would come in handy for that, although later on I want a 3.9 diff. I'll probably get it, and when I sell it, you got first dibs on the 3.73 k dude?
