make sure you swap it into a 90-98 GT not the ST, the ST had a different engine with different mounts than the GT, GT had the 5SFE and the ST had the 4AFE. The 3SGTE is an S series motor and will bolt it to the 5SFE mounts.

That is a 2nd gen motor they have for sale. A 3rd gen 3sgte motor is rated at 30+ more hp but also costs 2-3 times as much. Your also going to want to think about upgrading your transmission to an MR2 tranny with the LSD. The stock celica tranny will not hold up for long.
