I picked up a 2000 celica gt with a blown up engine. And i was just wondering if it would be possible to pull a 1zzfe out of a vibe, matrix or corolla and swap that in the celica.

Yes. But try to pull a non vvti engine, later 1zz engines had vvti, this would make the swap the easiest. You could probably swap to a vvti engine if you wanted to, but I know some changes would have to be made

EDIT: DISREGARD THIS.

NO NO, you WANT a VVTI engine. 7th gen celica always had VVTI.

Oh I am really sorry, I was mistaken on when VVTi was introduced on the 1ZZ.
