Default 01 Celica motor into 85-89 MR2

What does it involve? This would be a project car meant for show, not speed so probably an auto tranny. Any idea if there is a mount kit, or wiring info? Chris

spins the wrong way. but i guess you could put it in backwords.

better choice would be a 20valve. i just finished up a 20valve swap in a aw11 mr2 (86) last week. the car moves like a man, and sounds like a sport bike.

I just need a very reliable motor with low milage, how difficult is the 20 valve swap?

not that bad at all, it all bolts in but some wire splicing is needed. and a little creatvity with fluid lines. 20valve is very relaibale.
