Alright here's the deal . . Ive sourced a 1GGTE engine with intercooler and I currently own a 2S-C powered SA63 Celica. Basically I need a no bs evaluation of what I need to get this engine in the car. Anything from engine mounts to sump positions to things to think about would be greatly appreciated.
Also any indication of the cost to carry out this conversion would also be thankful.
Cheers

Errr... SA63 would be FWD right?
If it is you wont be wanting to put a 1GGTE in there, it might not be even possible.
A 3S-GTE is what your after... bolt in job (besides fueling).

The SA63 is RWD! Mate if you need any hands on help let me know. I can also help with wiring!

You will need to do these:
 Custom engine mounts
Front sump (although I'm not sure if the mid-rear won't fit with mods)
Radiator outlet moved to other side.
If you're using a W58, you will need new lines to the clutch slave since it sits on the opposite side compared to the W57 (this was in the RA60, not 100% sure about SA63)
Standard RA65 fuel pump has served me fine, but I have bigger lines, you might want to consider this.
If you want to use the standard air box, you'll need to move the battery to the boot
Wiring
That's about all I can think of at the moment. Everything else bolts straight up. Hope that helps.
