5s

I am looking for info on the first 5s motors here and am going to rebuild it and put it into my gen2 witch has a wore out 3s in it now, I have been working on toyotas for many years now but never really noticed how much the first 5s looks like a 3s, went to a junkyard today and seen a 91 5s in a celica and its identical to my 3s, saw some camry 5s motors and they had oil cooler lines and different valve covers until i ran up on this 94 camry, it looked like my 3s, looked real good with just over 100k miles on it, does this motor belong in a 94 and is it lagit?

I've put a 3s in a 5s celica; it involved swapping a lot of parts over but it worked out just fine, head and block are essentially the same with minor differences (like 200cc), and the 3s ran on the 5s computer with no problems. In short, I expect you can do it.

did the oil pan work in the camry?

the camry i4 subframe is wide open underneath. no problems. I did have to swap intake and exhaust manifolds from the old motor because it was a jdm 3s and the cats were in different places, so diffrent exh manifold, and the intake had different sensors in different places.
