I decided to change my sad 2e engine in my 91-93 tercel, and put in a turbo starlet engine, I bought the engine already, it cost me a cool five, right now, the engine is in the car, it was supposed to go for wiring yesterday, but it should go today.
this is what she looks like:

i was to ask, what instrument panel could work in mine? what about those new corollas, can those fit?

I believe you will need a starlet instrument panel or a panel that came out of a car with a 4efe might work, not too sure.
Project looks good, should have cleaned down the engine before you mounted it up though, some degreaser and gas will have it looking like the one in your sig.

I only got to see it after the swap was done, they say that could do after.

So i take it you would not know if any of the seal were changed and what about the timing belt. should always have those things replaced when putting in a used engine.

I think omegajedi on the forum had a starlet cluster to sell. You can check him. They can go anywhere from $400 to $800 in the bamboo depending on where you go and how well you negotiate.
