Engine and transmission swap for 93 V6 camry..

[auto_newbie]

hey guys..im new here...my 93 V6 has 236k kilometers on it, im planning on swapin a 2005 Camry V6 into it and as well as a 5 or 6 spd manual transmission..but i hav no idea on where to start..can someone help me out please?

6 speed manual??? hahaha.
Unless your car has a 1MZFE atm (i doubt it seeing the 1MZ came into the Gen 3 in 94 i think) then swapping a 1MZ (or 3MZ!!??) from a 05 Camry will be very painful.
But anythings possible.

You would nees:
Complete half-cut if possible (Engine, trans, wiring, ECU, EVERYTHING!)
Custom Mounts for the motor
Possible Fabrication of the engine bay to make it fit!

Not sure where your gna get a 6 speed from tho!! haha

Welcome btw!

wow..thats a lot of work..haha...but since im gonna mod it..might as well change the engine and tran as well...make it last a bit longer but how much u think that wil lcost me?..for the complete half-cut..motor mounts..etc..cuz im a newbie..haha..dunno much about cars..and thank you for the help

Well for one..if you don't know much about cars..it's really not the thing for you.
This sort of project shouldnt be taken lightly, its a big ask to swap not only a motor thats 2 generation ahead...but swap to manual aswell. And all this in a car that probly doesnt have a 1MZ (probly has the 3VZ, do you know wat you have?).
A shop could do it for you but you'd be paying out of ur butt. Easily $5K+ for this sort of project.

my suggestion is to re-think what exactly you want to do, then come back and talk to us...you can make your 96 perform just as well as an 05

mine is a 3VZ..but spending 5k or so is stil lbetter than buyin a new car, plus i gonna get some mods into my car thru out the season

[auto_newbie]

hah sell your camry and spend the 5k and buy a celica or supra or something

and jetspeed is from australia, and i think their dollar is consistent with the canadian so it doesnt matter
