if you get the mr2 3sgte and tranny i will find a 88 v6 camry/es250 tranny and swap you even for it axles and all...which is what you will need to do the swap...you will also need the 88 alltrac wiring harness,alt mount,motor mounts,powersteering pump,belts and bottom pulley...if you get the alltrac 3sgte the tranny is basically worthless and useless for the fwd swap
