Hi, new to this forum but couldn't find the information anywhere so I thought I'd ask. Recently bought an 01 Corolla CE, 5 speed / 1.8 VVTi. Engine has a knock , and at 350,000km, let's just assume the engine is done. I want to replace the engine, and I want to know the best way to go about doing this. Would any 98-02 engine work? It's the 1ZZ-FE. I know if i get it from an automatic I'm going to have to switch wiring harnesses, tq, etc, so i think the best course of action would be get just an engine from a manual trans, or just take out a complete engine and trans from another manual rolla. A few questions though; can this be done without a hoist? I have basic skills and tools , but no lift for the car, so it'll be jack stands. This leads me to my second question, can I take this engine/trans out the top? If so , where are the spots to connect a hoist to the engine? One last question, is there any other engine that I could stick in plug-n-play style, without needing all new mounts and adapters and such, to give it a little extra power? A lot of questions I know, feel free to answer whichever ones you can. Thanks!
Also, if anyone has a guide or a link to a guide on how to do this engine replacement, please share! Would a Toyota repair manual from the dealership have it in there?
