search function will be your best friend on this. but its time consuming and isnt really worth it unless you can do it yoursefl or know someone who can. a shop will charge a lot.

Not happening unless you do EVERYTHING yourself, and find a good deal on all the parts.

IF you have a shop do it, the labor alone for the swap will likely be $800-$2k.

if i do go about doing this myself how long would u suggest making available??

If you have no idea what your doing, 2 weeks. IF you know EXACTLY what yuor doing, and do not run into ANY issues, a full weekend, non stop, no breaks. Again, thats assuming there is not a single issue and you know what your doing.

So all your parts were either stolen or free. And you had a friend do it for $300 labor.

my guess would be you've looked only in camry's of which 90% or more are automatic. have you looked in any celica's by any chance?
