    No, you want a Supra 5 speed. Celicas are a 4 banger.

    I strongly suggest that if you go down that path that you test drive a 5 litre that has already had the conversion done. The clutch is very, very, heavy, and shifts differently to a T5.

    You could also invetigate a T56 conversion.

    Also, what is the"highly saught after engine"?
