My 1983 Toyota Celica GT coupe

[tallassviet520]

which motor is worth every penny?

1UZFE (4.0 ls400 v8 265hp - 300hp) sound hecka nice a v8 in a celica

3SGTE (2.0 MR2/CELICA GT4 TURBO 200HP) never seen in a '80 celica before that will be cool

F20C (2.0 HONDA S2000 240HP) nice , cool speedometer, a honda motor in a toyota

3T-GTE (1.8 COROLLA/CELICA 160HP) was in a rally

(OR STICK WITH MY 22RE) reliable, truck motor

right now its all stock and its an auto
(and learning how to drive a stick)

You're just learning how to drive a stick and you know how to install an engine?

[tallassviet520]

nope , still learning

Keep the 22r man. It's can be built and it sounds like you don't know the level of difficulty that would be involved in attempting any of those swaps. Not to mention the cost. Only efficent way to do it would be to buy a wrecked one of the cars you just mentioned. Take the motor/trans and try and swap everything from the old car. Ecu, wiring harness, motor/trans/ rear end etc. Good luck with that.

The 22R responds well to a hotter cam and 1/4" larger diameter exhaust.

keep the 22re.

Which motor is worth every penny? The one you chose. Your not seriously on asking this question are you? You can easily find out the specs of each of them and decide for yourself. Or unless thats too difficult to you since swapping motors are much easier, which includes custom mounts, the wiring etc.

Since this is your first conversion, it should be one that isn't too hard.
The 1UZFE and 3SGTE have been done in an '83 before but they are complicated.
The F20C would also be complicated.

The 3T-GTE wouldn't be too hard as long as you can make some engine mounts.
This was sold in Japan as the TA63 and TA64.
If you are real lucky then TE71 or TE72 Corolla engine mounts *might* fit.

The simplest is to keep the 22R and convert it to manual.
These are simple but strong engines with tons of low down torque.
Once the power robbing auto is out of the way, you might be suprised at what a stock motor can do.
And as Racer said, they can be warmed up pretty good with a cam and exhaust upgrade.

how about sr20det? That would be bad ass.

[stepho]

And every bit as hard to fit as the other engines.
