hey guys/gals, i was wonderin what would be yall ideas on puttin a 3sgte engine (ST205) in a AE110 corolla as a rearwheeled drive vehicle. thanx alot

Well.. to start, an AE110 is FWD, you would have to source out a RWD transmission that would match the 3SGE/GTE powerplant, I don't think the 3S ever came in RWD, so you might be out of luck on that one. If you were staying with FWD you could use a Camry transmission(not sure what the transmission code is).

Second, you would have to source out parts from a RWD Toyota in order to convert your car to RWD, you're looking at suspension parts, driveshaft, etc.. you could take these parts from a Supra, but then you're looking at a lot of money after you're done.

I'm not saying this swap is impossible, it would just be expensive.. proving you can find a suitable RWD transmission for a 3S motor. My advice, stay with FWD.. the swap is expensive enough as it is.. RWD would just kill it.

RWD conversion means you need to cut firwall, underpan, relocate fuel tank, swap rear suspension.
You better by an old AE86 with no engine and swap the 3S-GTE in it.
Unless you can find RWD AE110 where you live.
Oh you'll need custom plate to mount the tranny to the 3S.
Unless you can find any RWD tranny mate to S series engine: 3S-GE, 3S-FE, 5S-FE, 3S-GTE.
