k guys i have a 95 celica st. i am goin for a 4age blacktop swap. im buying a complete swap, this means head, block, tranny, sensors, ecu, uncut wiring, axles, alternator, distributor, etc. i just wanna make sure FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS DONE THIS SWAP BEFORE that i wont run into any problems in fitment of the motor mounts (does it drop right in?), wiring (is it plug-and-play or is there splicing?), axles fitting in rotors, and anything else i might wanna know that you can think of. thanks in advance.

I've done many of them. The engine will bolt right in, you will use the mounts and brackets from your old engine. You can use your stock axles. The a/c and p/s lines will need to be custom and you will need to install a p/s reservoir. The wiring is far from plug and play but you can send it to Phoenix Tuning: http://www.phoenixtuning.com for a play and play harness conversion. The exhaust is going to need a little bit of custom welding that any exhaust shop should be able to handle. I also recommend doing a fuel pump at the same time. You should also put a new clutch in, as well as new seals, gaskets, and timing belt, while the engine is out of the car.
