3S-GTE into RAV4.

I considered removing the guts from a 3S-GTE earlier on and sticking them into the 3S-FE donk with the type G head. Wasn't sure how this would work with the turbo mod I was going to be making with AVO's help in Melbourne.
Then I had a chat to the guys at ToySports. Does anyone from here know them?? Anyway, they suggested to me something I'd not thought of earlier - a complete front-cut from a Celica GT-Four. According to them, the gearbox will drop straight in (I think it's nearly identical to the stock RAV4 box, with extra beef on the gears). This solves the problem of trying to find a gearbox that wont fall to pieces on me with a quarter-mile drag. I was told that the 3S-GTE donk already has the forged pistons in it and the turbo is a CT-26 Garrett, running a similar setup (water/air intercooling, etc). Apparently the turbo runs at something like 12 PSI at stock. I also want to get the lower bodykit designed, implemented and painted by these guys as well, as they have a fibreglass guy on-site.
The best part about this is the cost - it's looking more likely that the engine/gearbox conversion could be done for a hell of a lot cheaper than first imagined. The front-cut to supply is around $3500. I'm waiting on a quote to come back to get a final figure on what the job will involve and for how long. If it's under $11,000 (which is what the AVO setup would have cost to do EVERYTHING on the car, including exahust, but minus the gearbox), I'll be laughing.
