Anything else is asking for more headaches, as I see it, beings as it's a Celica motor from the get go. And successful conversions of 5th gen fwd to awd are few and far between, compared to how many non-AllTrac 3SGTE powered 5th gen Celicas
there are runnin' around.
I mean, if you have a LOT of time and a LOT of $$$, I'm sure there are many options available. Rationally, drop in the 3SGTE/ecu and an appropriate tranny and you're ST should fly (ST's are the lightest of the litter )
