Wow i cant believe i never posted here. Best engine to put in earlier celicas is 1g-gte, that would be for the 75 and older. 1jz-gte is da shiznit in 76-77 celicas.
If i didnt already have 1ggte i would be puttin 20r in with mild cam and my 48mm webers. Another popular option is 20r head on early (81) 22r block, that way u'd have bigger pistons with the better flowing head.
I now know of several 1st gen celicas in my town and only one is for sale for sure and it's a rust bucket.
OLd school rules!!

shut up.


restore it. yank the engine and tranny and break it all down and find out what needs to be done to fix it. throw it back in, and drive it.
