If the corolla has the 4afe in it. I'm guessing it wouldn' t be to hard to put in. I know a kid that put in a 3sgte in his 94 celica st which happens to have the 4afe. I'm guessing you will need to fabricate your new mounts to match the 3s mounts and also a new s-153 tranny because the transmission that you have will not mate.

I'm not very clear on that but I know the tranny that he used was off a 94+ mr2 with lsd. You should research to see if the corolla drive train is the same as the celica st drive train. If both use the same cv joints, I figure that you can use the s-153 tranny or better yet the mr2 tranny with lsd. I herd you can also use a camry tranny but you gotta use hybrid cv joints.

I am very sure it will. People have used the camry tranny. Check out the tech forums @ celica.net go to forced induction. It will bolt up.
