My friend recently blew his 1ZZ and I said "2ZZ!" but he said "3S-GTE"...so I started gathering some info for him.
Has it been done before? He's looking to spend about $7k. I can get him the engine no problem, just not sure what we'd have to do.

Well, that's a write-up for swapping it into a 6th gen Celica (1994-1999), which was actually released in Japan with the 3S-GTE, and all-wheel drive, as the GT-FOUR. I actually just sold my 95 Celica, no 3S in it though, just a mildly built 5S
Maybe someone has done it into a 7th gen Celica? It has the same engine/trans as the Corolla.
