Im picking up a 91 mr2 with the 5sfe motor in it. I want to swap it out with a newer (95-99) J- spec motor. I was wondering if this is a good idea, and if it is...will it be a direct swap.? Suggestions please, im making this mr2 a project car from inside to out...i want the best of the best.

the engine will bolt in, but you will need to rewire some stuff, and get a new instrument cluster. if you are planning on spending a lot, get a car that is already a turbo.

I'd recommend buying a rear clip. This way you have EVERYTHING for the swap.

Would a newer(95-99) j spec clip work with the 91?

Yeah. Either way you're replacing everything.

thanks for your help
