This 1985 Celica GTS has been a daily driver for the last three years. The owner has swapped the factory engine with a LS1 and T56 transmission from a 2001 Camaro. The engine has been been on a dyno and shown to provide 344 horsepower and 351 torque. The Celica weighs 2900lbs and is reported to get 30mpg highway and 22mpg in city. As I said before this car has seen a great life with the chassis seeing 330,000 miles, the engine has 65,000 miles, and the swap has 30,000.
I was woundering who did the swap for because Iam looking for a similar swap.
A member on the LS1Tech forum did this swap. If you click the top link in the article you will be taken to the forum.
