I just picked up a 92 camry with a seized engine for free, so I'm thinking about putting an engine in it and selling for a quick profit. The car's a good candidate for this because it's nearly flawless in terms of body and interior condition.

I'm an experienced mechanic, but mostly with chevy's and fords. Never worked on a camry before. I was wondering if I could get a quick overview of what year donor vehicles i can get an engine out of, and any other things that commonly cause problems during an engine replacement on these cars. Its a 2.2, auto. Even just a link to a good website that discusses these cars and part interchangability on them, etc. would be awesome. thanks!

Suggest a donor from 92-95

In 1996 Toyota started to change the ign system over to use cam/crank sensors.
