why did you strip it? poor celica...why go with a v8 geezz...making a celica what its not supposed to be? atleast tell me its not a ford or chevy v8?

I stripped it because it had 300K miles and had its day plus I am bored and need a new project. I am probably going to go with a Chrysler V8 I have a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 318 (5.2) in it and I believe I can make it fit with minor alterations. "makeing a celica what its not supposed to be?" well that is exactly what I want to do. I want to make it different then every other celica you see out there. If anyone needs any parts I'll see what I have in good condition and you can either pick it up or pay for shipping.

ok well there was already a v8 swapped celica...except they used a tundra engine...

it will be good to see finished result! wot paint ya gunna have any idea yet?

I understand that there may be a handful of V8 swapped celi's out there but you won't see them all over. Besides I have a few other ideas under my sleeve that I promise have not been done. The paint right now is the last of my worries but I do want to keep it white maybe a Blue pearl I have a friend who is going to design it for me should be pretty sweet, but again that won't be for awhile now.

thats a celica? no way!!! you have to post pics when you get done

umm... it was a V8 all trac and that car is SWEET AS HELL! good luck with ur swap.

a v8 rwd alltrac...but...ANY PROGRESS???

dude 9streetghost0 stop bagging on the guy's idea please. Let him do as he see's fit for his car. I personally think it's awesome that he's putting in a V8. I would love to see this done and YES i have seen the V8 tundra in the celica that was twin turbo charged. This is one of OUR guys doing the job, not some other dude you don't see too much on forums.

Anyways, best of luck with your swap dude. I think around next year I'm gonna try fitting my bro's spare 2jzge in my celi. I heard that the DSM tranny that's stock with a 4g63 bolts up to the 2jz series engines. What is the tranny code?

^^ confused on engine codes here, sry... you stickin a supra engine in it or a 7th gen celica?

I'd personally go with the 3sgte you have a GT? you would fkin fly!

my brother is going to have a spare 2jzge. I'm sticking a 2jzge in my celica gt 5th gen. Don't want to bother with a 3sgte front clip.

bother with it? I'll sell ya my engine, lol... my all trac got wrecked but the engine and everything is completly fine

how much?

lookin for $600... but is negotiable. 97k miles on it, runs strong

$600?????? LOL

what about a front clip tho? how much for the front?
