Re: engine swap from mr2 into other rear wheel drive car?

simplified: the MR2 has the engine mounted across the car, the same as a fwd car (commonly known as the east west configuration)
to put it into a different rwd car (unless you're talking about another mid mount car, i can't think of any off hand unless you start looking at real serious money) you'd need to convert the engine to the north south configuration, therefore you'd need a new gearbox (including custom bellhousing or spacer plate unless you can afford a 6 speed gearbox out of a late model IS200, the only rwd 3SGE gearbox i can think of) and a hell of a lot of other custom work. its definitly doable, and would be a great conversion, but there's no way it could be considered easy
