I have a 86 Mr2 and I recently fried the head, possibly more . I was wondering since Ive been haveing trouble finding a replacement/rebuilt motor, If swapping to the silver top motor would be a roaly pain or worth the effort. Any info/opinions would be welcome.

 

its been done. prob not that hard both ae101's, ae111's and aw11 are transverse.

 

its a bolt in affair as long as you use the mr2 tranny, and the wireing is a pain in the ass, but you can call XAT racing at 813-875-7223 and they should be able to help you out.
