Swapping a '90 5S-FE into a '98 Camry
Hey my name is Tim. Ok...to make a long story short...I spun a rod in my camry but refuse to junk it. I was gonna put a 3S-GTE in it but that was too expensive of a project. So here's where I am now. I have the camry with the spun rod and I just purchased a '90 celica gt with the 5S-FE of that year. that car isn't running because it has a fried wiring harness, but i don't think that i need it to. I should be able to swap the long block into my car. my first question is whether that will work out. obviously the '90 5S-FE will bolt into my motor mounts, but will everything wire correctly. if not, will i need a new ecu, wiring harness, or both. i understand that i''m also gonna have to splice some wires. also, i figure i'm just gonna put the 3S-GTE into the celica shell afterwards and try to get my hands on the E153 V6 camry tranny. So yea...pray for that. What do you think about everything?
