Celica 3SGTE into an MR2

Blew up my 3s a few weeks ago and after much stuffing around the mechanic has finally told me that he got the wrong engine.  He said there is no way of changing it to fit my MR2 (SW20 1993 GT). Since his big stuff around and delays to finishing my car i thought i'd double check here to see if anyone knew otherwise. Thanks

As long as the engines are both the same generation, the basic block is the same. All of the external components can bolt onto each block so it should be possible to convert the GT4 engine to use ing the MR2.
If the engine he bought is from a ST165 then I don't think the manifolds etc will bolt up and you wouldn't want to use the engine anyway as it is a far inferior example.

Well the only way the crank shaft interacts with the externals of the engine is with the bolting on of the flywheel and the crank pulley.
The flywheel will work for either car as they use essentially the same gearbox. The crank pulley is different between the two but can be swaped easily enough.
I'd advise going back and getting a better explanation and if he can't give one then I'd be looking for a better mechanic.
