Do you have the wiring harness and ECU for the 20V? Or just the motor?

What tranny do you plan on using? Was the 20V out of an auto or stick? Reason I ask this, is for your speedo to work. Also if it was from an auto you may have a bunch of wires you will not need.

The big thing with Toyota is the wiring, head and ECU need to match. They're not as mis-matchable (lego blocks) as the Honda's. You can get into some custom wiring and make it work, it just won't be right.
Also, For reference's I would look at www.club4ag.com.

The silvertop tranny and the car are both manuals. my celica transmission has the 5th gear pop out issue so i was hoping to use the silvertop tranny with its better ratios
