Gen 7 Celica Engine Swap and RWD conversion idea
I know it has been done before with other Engines and will be expensive.
My Idea is to put a VQ35DE engine in my Toyota Celica T-SPORT (FWD, 192 hp 2zz-ge) while converting it to RWD.
I have read that welding will be required and that the entire ordeal will consume a lot of time and money. However I would hope to get some advice on what steps (in detail) are required to get this done so I can eventually rethink my ideas for my car.
Any kind of constructive criticism and advice is appreciated.

I’m not really familiar with Toyota’s however with any engine swap or drive conversion you have to look at available parts. If you custom make everything it will work but if it breaks you are stuck with getting parts custom made again. Try and use parts like the rear differential and drive shaft from another vehicle. If you have to lengthen or shorten the shaft that’s fine but you want to know the specs of the vehicle you used so you can get things like u joints and things like that
Always keep records of the vehicles you borrow parts from so you can get them easier when going to a parts store
