1mfze in Mk1 MR2?

Hi everyone, I'm jess (and new...)

Anyway I've got an 1989 MR2 SC, and I love it. It's a real driver's car, but my engine has 185k on it. It's in otherwise great condition, and right now I'm looking at possible swaps for the future. I may very well find another 4agze, but I'm just trying to find out what my possiblities are (and don't tell me "with $$$, you can do anything" I'm not overly concerned about cost, but I want something that makes sense that isn't going to turn into something like the Northstar V8 project)

So far I'm thinking about the 1mfze (camry v6)... or the 2zz-ge (matrix XRS). I'd like to stick with a Toy engine, so that's what I'm thinking. I've looked around on the net a little and havent found lots of information, and now I'm hoping someone would shed some light and/or comments on this.

Thanks.

btw, the mk2 guys have done the v6...of course it'll be harder on a mk1, but check out the hybrids fourm under mk2

well first off, Welcome to Automotiveforums!

second: OMG!!!! AN MR2 GIRL!!!!!!!!!

and finally, why not a 3sgte (especially if you're looking to do a lot of work) ?

or a 20v (as previously stated)
or even... a 20vturbo

just remember, the mk1 doesn't have a lot of room in the engine bay; you'll want to find something that fits and has a little room to move around.

I'm not sure about the 3sgte. I was thinking about something a little more original. But anyway, like I said, I'm just looking at possibilities.

And i've realized that my biggest problem is going to be engine size, and the lack of space in the mk1 :( Oh well! it will be worth it in the end. It's really a project I won't really be looking into until at least next winter, depending on how my 4agze holds up.
