Cool

IDK, pictures down. What are we talking abut v6 swaps? They've become common in the last 5 years to anything Toyota made that came with an S block engine. Because the Camry platform sued the S block engine. Which means the v6's will bolt up only fabbing one mount. Now... They destroy all the i4 transmissions relatively quickly. But in the case of the Celica, or MR2's. They have access to the E-153 we have, just with an optional LSD, and the ratios are alot shorter.
So... You can stick our 5-speed E-153 inplace of whatever transmission they have. use hybrid Camry / Swap axles because they bolt together & Wala. You're left with nothing more than wiring issues.





Here's a 3mz-fe bottom end out of a Sienna with 1mz-fe heads & upper intake manifold out of an Avalon sitting on a lower intake manifold from a 97 Camry.






Did I mention it's stuffed into a gen2 MR2.

Here's a 94-96 1mz-fe into a gen1 MR2



1mz-fe into a gen2 MR2. Brad Bell's Second.


2gr-fe out of an '05 Avalon STUFFED into an MR-S



1mz-fe w' TRD S/C swapped nto a gen2 MR2. Brad Bell's First

Nobody really knows anything about that one. It's in France. I would guess it's just laying there for the picture.

wowwwww can you put a 3.3 in a 00 es by chance? I was thinkin bout this the other day. I remember driving a ES330 for a demo or whatever, and that thing could RIPPPPPPP. If so how much do the engines usually run w/ tranny and necessary parts?
