 84' Camry Engine swap.

I have plans to buy and fit a 3S-GE engine in my camry (among other things like new paintjob, lower and tighter suspension etc.).
Currently there is a 2S-E engine in there, which has got me thinking. Will the ECU be compatable with the 3S-GE or will I need to get the correct one?
Mods i plan on doing:
Black all over paint job, shiny
Engine swap to a 3S-GE
2.5" exhaust with sports headers
Lower and tighter suspension (camber kit maybe)
some form of security system
new stereo (my current stock one's tape is slow and dodgy, and the radio detunes itself easily... anyone know a fix for these?)
Probably rear discs... and maybe mags, if i find some that look good on the car.
Later on (when i'm 25, if i'm still driving it) i'll turbo it 
After all that it'll be my little beast...

Thanks for the positive feedback.
The gearbox should be fine, i've heard of people using the 2s-e's gearbox on a 3s-gte without any troubles!
This little beast is already quite powerful for what it is... i've taken it up to 170km/h, but atm i'm using retreads (needed new cheap tyres when i got the car...  )
A little bit of body work needs to be done, some dents and cracked bits...

There is someone out there who has supercharged a Camry and has claimed some impressive scalps. He was a regular on the old forums.

Wouldn't a supercharger gulp down a fair bit more fuel?
I'd have no doubt that a supercharger would increase the power a fair amount... but the question is, what model camry?

Hydra,
That custom supercharged one was on the SV21 on a 3SFE.

ok cool, was just wondering coz i've got a 2s-c in my celica. 2s-e - 77kw, 2s-c - 73kw. why couldn't they put the efi engine in the celicas? and i also found out that the camry's came with power mirrors. What the hell is going on with the celicas??

maxdamage75,
Yes, supposidely they got power windows, mirrors, standard.
The had an optional 9 band graphic equalisier (good to see the bars go up as you crank it up), sunroof... forgot the rest but I've still got the original Camry brochure here in hardcopy.
As for rear disc, I don't know what other cars would fit. Your Camry has a 4 stud so maybe the AE8x Corollas would be your best bet. At least those are "easier" to source than the SV21 I put on.

Hello. My name is Neil an I am pretty sure I have looked into almost every think for the camry hatch. You most likely have seen my car around, a silver with black body kit and the number plate hello-0. I have had it since start of 2000.
The conversion that I got quoted was to make my camry a 13 sec 1/4 mile time with a stock motor placed into the engine bay.
My camry doesn't have the fancy features and was one of the rare type since toyota produce 3 types in one year. The reason I say this is I have yet to see a nother camry hatch with the camry brown interior. Most came out with the blue.
I wouldn't do a conversion until my motor needs changing since I had it reconditioned when I bought the car and takes on anything quite well. I am also running unleaded with no troubles in the leaded engine. Have fun finding extractors for the camry hatch cos the people I went through said the I got the last official set. I am only running a 2", hotdog, muffler, 2.5" tip exhaust, and it is loud. Top end is 180Km/h in 5 gear sitting on 4500 revs. My aim is to hit 200Km/h with the engine.
The suspension changes every thing about the cars handling and larger/lower profile tires help too. Braking just upgrade the front brake pads and doing 70km/h stopped in 3 to 5 meters (skid line to prove it)Which has to be good. The only time the brakes have stopped working was after driving for and hour (hard) they lost the usefulness and gears came into play.
Sound system, if set up right, kicks ass over other more expensive systems and amps, and is only heard inside the car if the car is closed up.
What else do you want to know about the car or parts? I have been looking since I bought the car and it would have been cheaper to buy an 8 grand car straight up than spend the $$$ but the looks of people top the $$$.
That's my spill
catch u around
Neil
If it's too loud your too old!!!

Hello-O
I have the brown interior!! 
So running unleaded petrol works okay? very cool! i am sick of paying extra i've taken my camry up to 170km/h and it was still pulling...
I basically want to respray it (black), lower and tighter suspension, maybe new mags with wider tyres, 3S-GE engine, better exhaust (some tiny shit exhaust came with it), and i need to replace the front windscreen it's got some dents in it . One reason i'm after a 3s-ge engine is that it's more popular and there is much more information around about it... and also because it's got some nice power in it I'll take your advice about the brakes, that'd be a nice upgrade and the tyres too, low profile
Thanks for the info!

Hydra,
As far as 3SGE goes, there is really only the 1st series off the ST162 Celica that is widely available. The later series are fairly rare. I tried looking for one before and it was hard. There is no market for these engines unfortunately.
