really? from what i read... a headswap would be easier than a total engine swap in the end, you just need specific parts... but none are very rare at all.

noooo, not true. i mean, if you want, go for it, but you're dealing with a 15 year old engine here. the 4agze in the US was last seen in 89, and if you get a JDM engine to do the headswap, just do the swap.

as to the complexity... you have to fabricate brackets for a lot of stuff. A/C, power steering, alternator and distributor all need custom brackets, cuz on the mr2 SC, that stuff is either not there, or bolted to the engine bay, not the engine. you'll also need a custom timing belt if i remember right. it's just a big big headache. and you're right, you will tear up the tranny. you can get a 4agze tranny, but you'll have to have a custom clutch to mate it to the engine block... and so on, i could go on for like an hour.
