replacement 5S-FE or similar

[squizzytaylor]

Hi Guys, it happened....Numb nuts has stuffed the 5sfe in the celica. So....what are my options to get it back on the road cheap?

3sfe engines are about half the price to buy but will all/any bolt on bits still go on ie alternator, power steer, manifolds etc?

Any ideas appreciated.

BTW head or head gasket has gone, DH kept driving and something in the bottom end has let go as well now.

Cheers

You should just either replace with another 5SFE or upgrade to a 3SGE/3SGTE. a 3SFE doesnt have much power and isnt a direct bolt on.

Where are you located? If you are in brisbane i know where you can aquire a 5S for not much.

Based in Newcastle Mick, power is the least of my worries, Please email the details as I can organise freight pretty easily through work as long as the seller can get it on a skid or pallet.

my direct email is squizzytaylor@optusnet.com.au

OK Guys, just help me get my head around all this.

Are the 5SFE auto and manual the same block and everything?

Is the 5SFE used in the DV10 Camry etc the same?

Can the later coil pack 5sfe also be used and what mods are involved?

How different is the 3sfe

Thanks guys, sorry to be a pain but trying to put my options in perspective.

the *block* will be essentially the same, as will most of the head. If you just get a long motor, any 5SFE should be fine... although not so sure about the coilpack one, it may lack the distributor fitting in the head.
