Picked her up today courtesy of Jon Rodwell transportation services! AsconaDaz was understanably quite emotional, which no doubt was made worse by the fact that his Commodore sold this morning on Ebay too.... Now...what I need to know is there anyone who is familiar with Celica/carina engine transplants? Whats the most straight forward route? Here's my inspiration. The rest of the thread is hereP.S If anyone is based in Shropshire and needs cheap storage or quality cheap work done on their car pm me!

Carina's are almost identical to Celica's of the same age, but with different styling. It should have a 2T engine in it (75bhp I think) There were plently of evolutions of the T series. I've got a 2TB sat under my bench (twin carb 86bhp) Then you can move on to the twin cam stuff... Have a look here (scroll down to the T series) Take your pick - most should bolt straight in. Some of the later ones may need some minor mods

screw straight swaps! how bout a 1.3 turbo from the EP82 starlet.133bhp and tuning potential?!
them starlets are quick and i recon plonking the engine from one of them in the carina would make it fly!

I've seen that car in the flesh in Finland. It's very nice. There's some pics on my website somewhere.

Mine has this 2T thing in too. Kyteler suggested a monster 3T-GTEU4X7ZY engine with double overhead cams, turbo and twin plugs! Sounds quality but I am not sure it ever found its way to Europe.
Actually the 2T is much more enthusiastic than I expected.
