I have friend that told me he saw a a 98 celica with a engine from a either an IS 300 or an ES300 I am just curious to see what you guys think about this. I have trying to somebody out there that has done this and so far I have come up with nothing. Do you guys think this is possible or do think the owner of the car was just yanking his chain? If it is possible it would be really cool to see.

possible yes likely no but the car would no loger be FWD if it was done ,,, so more then likely he was BSing...

I agree he was proably BSing but ES 300 is FWD. So who knows.

I thouht IS300s used to come with 3SGEs?
Any thruth to that myth?

the IS200 came with a 3sge. I think the guy is full of it. most people are.
the ES300 1MZFE swap is very doable. SCC put one in a 5SFE MR2, and there is a guy who swapped the same engine into his 5G on c.net
as for putting the 2JZGE from the IS300 into a Celi, it wouldn't fit without pushing the firewall back among other things.
