i was wondering if only a 1.9l engine would fit into a 96 sl2 engine bay. and i was wondering if there is a forum that would have a engine swap on them

Well years ago my brother put a Ford 289 V8 in an MGB.
I guess it depends on how much work you want to do.

well i didn't want to do to much but the biggest i want to go is a 6 cylinder, i saw a tt supra engine with everything you need ( harness tranny and all the accessory stuff) for like 4k on jdm and i belive the engine is a I-6

Last I saw, the Supra was rear-wheel drive.
That's a lot of work.
Would it be worth it?
Just buy a faster car to start with.

There is no direct replacement for the Saturn 1.9 other than another Saturn 1.9. You can do anything you want, really, if you got the cash and/or fabrication skillz.
