I know for my Celica, I re-used the bolt-on stuff from the original engine (sensors, manifolds, accessories, etc) to make sure it all worked properly.

Yeah cheers - main thing for me is the front wheel drive hurdle - just looks so much weirder than a north/south rwd layout.

Have you thought of swapping something more interesting in?

Thanks, I'll have a try on that forum!
I wish I could put something more interesting in it - but I'm in Australia and the best thing would be a 1nz... I just don't really want to be swapping anything else besides the motor - the car was originally bought so I didn't have to stuff around with fixing cars like some of my previous imports!

you'll just want to be careful not to bang the bottom of the windsheild when pulling out the engine....make sure the exhaust manifold is off

Cheers for the info - I'll check it out!
