    3S-FE or 5S-FE cylinder head.

    A140 or compatible transmission.
    Let me know what you guys have in terms of compatible stuff, let it be later trans, or even s53/s52 or whatever the manual trans is.

    Pretty depressed right now. Car is sitting in garage not to be touched.

    Nate/Rick, I most likely can't make it down there with the Celica to get it fixed down there. Unless I redline at 30mph on first gear all the way there. :help

    I could drive down with the Sienna...how much would it be to get the head checked out by a shop? I know you have better/cheaper shops down there. Do you still have the tranny from Red lady?

    Don't think it would need checked really, timing belt failure, so no overheating, valves are all fine, head gasket was fine, dunno how much, but the Supra cost me for decking, valve stem seals installed, and magnaflux was close to $275....

    The Red Lady's tranny got too hot to trust in the fire...Too bad, that trans had less than 1000 miles on a $900 rebuild and new converter. Probably part of that new Super Bridge in China....

    $900 rebuild?! holy hell that's cheap (compared to shitplaces here. gonna cost me $1000 for a new junkyard replacement).
    let me know how much shipping would be, and if it's not worth to ship, let me know when it's ready so we can coordinate meeting times

    That rebuild was a hookup deal... Still had to partially drop it again to re-do the overdrive gasket, He put the wrong one on and leaked like a bastard...

    Tis usually the case... I just don't see many come thru anymore. Camrys sometimes, but some use a variant of the 140 that is different enough you can't use. I know... I made that mistake !!! :banghead Instead of a $200 low mile used one, I ended up with a $900 reman that I only used for 6 months... :sad5

    Do you have the cylinder head squared away? I have a spare 3SFE head that needs a home......
