Okay to start this off the wrist pin in cylinder 4 snapped last thursday i have a 7AFE motor in my 94 Celica and i was wondering since i need a new motor why not just go with the 5SFE? so i need to know from you guys what all needs to be done to get my car rolling again.... please help ASAP i would be so happy if you did

I'm not a 6th GEN guy but I think you could go 5SFE but you'd need to makes sure you have the 5SFE ECU, wiring harness and any extras too, like there may be differences with the CV axles, hubs, etc. I know all the "S" series engines are swappable b/c the engine mounts are in the same location, dunno about the 7AFE though. Sounds easier to just fix or replace the 7AFE. Perhaps some of the 6th GEN experts can advise further.
