Will start an official thread, into this. wont go into detail. Will keep it mostly informative, because i know this will not be a favorite swap for most, and will be cost prohibitive for many.
Approximate cost of swap is around 7 to 8K, and will vary according of how far you want to go. mods and stuff not going to get into detail about, a shopping list, or what not. there are multiple places you can get it, and it has been discussed before. DSCN1196  the engine fits, and it barely makes it. will not fully disclose all that is being done, but will mos likely help anyone that wants to do this personally. fitting the engine and mating the engine, can be found in the MR2OC forums, and i will not take credit for it. Please lets not fill this thread with garbage. Its a 2grfe, because i wanted it, and if you dont like it, oh well, you are not paying for it, lol.... first things first, the engine needs to come from the bottom, it wont come from the top... it wont... DSCN1202  DSCN1188  there are some body modifications, and will get into details later in the swap... I have my reasons. the swap is doable. and like I said, im willing to help personally to any member, that will do it. Will be a slow guide, because i decided to do it all myself, with no help. I feel like this is more personal.... Will include more stuff in the days to come... DSCN1122  just consider the 2grfe, its worth it. all aluminum...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
