3SGTE swap info help

Ok I have a set of 3sgte clips one caldina and a 2nd gen mr2 turbo clip.Now what modifications will I need to get this engine to fit to a 3rd gen camry 5spd 5sfe ?I am wondering if the stock engine mounts will work ,how will I wire up this setup (should I just get a motec or another type of stand alone computer).The stock 5sfe tranny seems to bolt onto the 3sgte so I will be getting a new clutch and flywheel for that soon.For the fuel system I got a 255lph pump and im going to use the existing fuel rail for now.I dont care about power steering and A/C so I will not wire that crap up.before the engine goes in I will do a complete rebuild and upgrade some parts.If you got any info or pics of your setup that might help me out please let me know.

Thanks guys hope i can get my friends car running soon

It'll fit the stock 5SFE mounts. Theres a guy here who tried to use the 5SFE ecu to run the 3sgte but he ran into a problem with injector pulse rates so he went standalone, TechTom I think. I really don't see why you can't use the harness and ecu from the Caldina, expecially if you have the front cut and complete harness. The MR2 tranny will work, all E series trannies bolt up to the S series blocks, its a much stronger unit and likely has LSD, you gotta play around with the linkages to make it work though.

Since i got two cuts im going to probably pull out both engines this week and see what fits and how complicated the electronics are on this caldina clip.BTW thanks for finaly responding i was unsure about the engine mounts since i have not had time to play around with my friends car.
