95 Corolla Engine to a 93 Camry Engine Swap? Can it be done?

[Swingliner]

Ok so I have a 1995 Toyota Corolla looked good ran better just did a engine rebuild. Driving down the freeway a big @$s truck wanted to see if it could make it over us I rolled his truck he mess up my car bad but only body damage I drove it home! (gotta love TOYOTA!) Anyways is it posible to swap my 95 Corolla Engine into a 93 Camry my buddy has one that the engine is shot in before I buy the Camry I wanted to know if it could be done and if it would just bolt up or what I might need.

No, not easily. They're completely different motors, and swapping would require a lot of custom work. You wouldn't really want it in the Camry anyway, it's pretty weak for something that big.

No.

Ok thanks that what I needed to know. Does anyone the year range of Corolla that I can swap my motor in to like whats the latest and earliest year I can use?

1993-1997 are interchangeable, just make sure it's a similar trim level to your Corolla (base and CE models use the same engine, and DX and LE use the same engine).

4th through 7th gen will take the A series of engines. some mount work may be needed on earlier gens.

A 95-97 engine would be best. If you have the 1.6L 4AFE you will need that, or you can drop in the 1.8L 7AFE, but you'll need the transmission to do that if it's an automatic.

and the ECM....

Well if you're changing the engine I would hope getting a matching computer would be a no-brainer. Otherwise leave it to the pros
