I was wondering why can't we swap a V6 camry or lexus es300 motor into a 6th gen celica? The 4 cylinder camry and the V6 camry's engine bay's are the same arent they?
Sorry if this sounds stupid I was just wondering why no one has ever talked about it?
im pretty sure someone on celica.net did this. someone correct me if im wrong. it was a 5th gen through. i know for sure he has a v6. (it might be inline) i dont know. in the 5th gen.

someone did do it.. but its such a big motor.. its going to be very tight.. also why bother, the only engine your going to find is eather A:going to be very expenseive an in good condition, or B:going to be very old high miles an beat up.. for a cheaper pric.. not worth it.. get a jdm engine, where they have most likly been treated better with very low miles for a good price. thats also lighter and more powerfuller with more room to grow..
differnent subframe.. alot of custom modification = EXPENSIVE

for the people thah whant to know the V6 sawp into a 6Gen is very simple,the same3S-GTE swap. But the 3S-GTE swap is alot less expensive, the 3S-GTE also makes alot more power. if you have a auto your best bet is to do the V6 sawp, for mor power to the wheels.
