YES!!! I love this thread already. I want to do a beams with 6 speed swap just like this. If you can, please include the little details. Can't wait for step 2.

Thank you

I will be using the factory ECU & the factory harness has been sent to Tweak'd performance to be done into a univeral install.
A 97 2wd tacoma 1 piece drive shaft is getting the yoke fabbed for the celica rear.
ordering an alluminum 82 corolla radiator
NEED a w57 or w58 speedometer gear drive (part the speedo cable hooks up to on the tranny)

Considering all the info on these motors just going to keep it all stock its perfect for just to cruise with, I'm trying to decide on wether to have AC or not.

no just going to keep it stock but once car is up and running and painted possibly might go the rx7 caliper route
