Agreed, from what I've heard the 3s-gte is fairly heavy...not to mention the parts for the 205's 3s are failry hard to come by...

Oh, I was referring to all the other bits on the engine , not just the internals...and you don't have to tell me the 3s is a good engine, it's discussed on my Celica forum constantly....it's a little heavy yea, but it's got a nuke -proof block (for a four cylinder) can make good power with just a turbo swap...it's even still used in the super gt Celicas ...as for having a RWD version, it shouldn't be that hard, people make "half-tracks' out of Celica all tracs all the time....try visiting alltrac.net

If you only want 300 hp why go thru all the effort to stuff the 3s/w55 into a corolla
YOu can make that on your 4age with nothing more than an afc and dsm 450cc injectors (yes they fall right in) Plus, you will have to consider that if you set the 3s right side up you will need to redo your oil pickup, as it will no longer be submerged. If your dead set on an engine swap, grab a 2rz and tranny from a 2wd taco, and go to town, as they will handle 400hp all day long on the stock longblock.
Before you retort, Yes the 3s does infact suck a dick. But not as bad as an sr20
