98 camry 5FSE to 3SGTE

[S13/R32]

hi all
I've got a 98 camry csi about to hit the 400,000 km mark
and i've desided to change the 5FSE to a 3SGTE. Now i've been considering this for about a month and been lookin at other examples and reading tech articals about doin the sawp.

so i've got the 3SGTE and the V6 camry gearbox (which everyone says is rare i don't kno about that in aus) and sure enough they bolt up to each other, and acordingly to what everyone has to say that if u got a 5FSE the 3SGTE will just bolt in place and cos of the car being a camry the gearbox should just bolt in too.

now i was thinkin the other day if i got hold of the GT-4 celica drive train (gearbox, diff, tailshaft ect...) would it be possible to make the camry all wheel drive? or would it be a complete failure?

i would like kno if any one as done this before?

thanks S13-R32

youd still have to fabricate the rear ends mounts for the wheels and a shaft etc, new shafts at the front. if you got the equipment at home you can do it with some knowhow(ok a lot). if not, get ready to spend about 7 grand for someone to put it in for ya (if you supply parts)

I don't know where you heard that from, but its wrong.

You need custom mounts, otherwise the engine will lean to one side.

ok...
so 3SGTE bolts into existing engine mounts of the 5SFE but need custom engine mounts?
