1st Gen Celica swaps.... short list

so its come to my attention that many ppl on our 1stgencelica.com forum that motorswaps are still some of the most trendy topics. for those who are interested in an engine swap for their 1st gen celica and those who are just interested in knowing what us celica owners are up to heres a very short list of examples of some swaps for our beloved dragons:
again there is my swap, the 22rte

pros: relatively one of the easier swaps, easy power, relatively the cheaper of the bunch
cons: hard to find a 22rte block, hard to find the required pieces


there is the 22re

pros: probably even cheaper and easier than the 22rte, easy to find replacement and aftermarket parts

the 7mgte found from the mkIII supra

pros: awesome power, stock motor can give you high 12s on the 1/4, lots of available aftermarket parts, easy to find
cons: more expensive than the 22re/rte swaps, heard the 7m head gaskets leak alot


the 2rz from a 95+ tacoma

pros: tons of torque and power, newer engine fitted with more technological advancements
cons: need to be knowledgeable in fabrication.


the 1jz/2jz from mkIV supra

pros: the holy grail of toyota engines, tons of power/torque/awesomeness
cons: fabrication galore!!

the f20c/f22c from the s2000

pros: VTEC
cons: its a honda....... hahaha
