also about the awd trans... It will bolt up to the engine as its essentially an e153. BUT the transfer case interferes with the block. Its not much, and with careful grinding, it will fit fine.

No car on the road would have that configuration. AWD V6, (posible turbo) 2dr lift back, light. -------------------- |

No car on the road would have that configuration. AWD possiblesible turbo) 2dr lift back, light. theres a 3vz +awd 5th gen somewhere. ah yes.. lol, in fact i was thinking about that car as i was typing that post, but was being lazy and figured that the meaning behind my words would be seen.. what i ment and should have said was: there is no car on the road today with that configuration that you can just buy as any production modle v6 [posible turbo], awd,2 dr, lift back, light). thuse making it fairly unique. that 5th was TT aswell. the only car that comes close is the audi TT quatro. and i have yet to see a turbo setup for that car (the v6 one) that could actually make any kind of power. not to mention its a pig.
