Re: engine swap possible..?

Yeah, it would really be a downgrade, maybye if your trying to drift it would be helpful with a slightly smaller and less weighty engine, but drifting a 3000 would be ridiculously expensive (as far as repairint the eventual body damage lol). but the big thing is that you would have to spend much more money to get similar power out of the new engine than the moderately tuned old one.

also, I havent reasearched it, but Ive been under my car a bit and i would be hard pressed to mount a rwd tranny in there.

If your really looking to do an odd conversion, try to buy some car with a blown engine, dont ruin a vr4 PLEASE! buy an sl with a ecu problem or head gasket or something, ro it would be very cool to get a celica or a fiero or something and do that swap... wow, a fiero with an sr20 or rb26 would be amazing!
