MarkGT has a '94 3000GT base model. The engine is in bad condition so he decided on a VR4 Twin Turbo swap. He brought his car up to me (Phoenix Tuning, http://www.phoenixtuning.com ) and had a VR4 clip shipped up here, and today I pulled the engine out. Here are some pics for you guys.
The clip:  Everything disconnected...  The growing pile of parts...  It's a tight fit!    Out it comes...     Now I just need to do it all over again with the car, and this install this baby!

ha, i was thinking the same thing, what kinda crazy patriotic dude owned this front end? That thing is gonna be mean when its done. Ive always liked the 3000GTs. That was my other choice when buying my celica.
