Default engine swap

anyone know if it's possible to swap the engine from a second gen GS3 into our first gen cars? would the tranny work? any input is appreciated.

it is possible but a lot of things are involved especially the wiring harnesses, sensors, etc.,....because newer gs300 motors are vvti. transmission might be very similar and you might want to consider using newer gs tranny also.

i believe it's better to to with supra twin-turbo.
