Recently my 1997 Toyota Celica Limited Edition ST AT200 had an engine failure and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what engines I could get. Im trying to get the best deal and work within my budget.
Thanks,
Zach
If money is tight, the easiest thing is to just find what you need to replace on your 7afe engine and go with that. Post what your budget is and other guys will tell you what it might cost for a swap or upgrade.

you cant do a 3s swap for that. if your looking for performance just get another 7a and turbo it. or you could get a gt clip and do a 5s swap. you might have enough money to do a cheap turbo. or just put a little money into it.

Just replace the motor with the same one if you really dont want anythnig fancy & want a economical car as what celicas are made for.
You could also swap in a 4AGE of your choice. It won't be a huge improvement over your 7AFE, but there are many more performance parts available for it, so it will be easier to upgrade it later.
I don't know where you're located but if you're anywhere near New England, I'll swap one in for you, no labor charge.
