Yes it will fit, you will need a saw, and a welder

PLAZMA TORCH would help out to.. man I wish i would have thought about that when i was building my motor.. cause the 2.0 strate 6 would make way more power them my shity 3.0 v6 and I would deffenetly get a bunch of stickers.. i lover stickers.. and if I was going to do that swap I would deffenetly add a AEM sticker and a NO2 sticker! no one would even see me coming..

Re: engine swap possible..?

for all the work it wouldnt be worth it. Why would you want to anyway? the 6g72 can easily hit 600hp on stock internals...spend the time and money on a turbo upgrade and supporting mods.

Vector, jason was def being sarcastic.

It would never be worth the work involved unless you have tons of money and time lying around and just want to do something different. but you would have major issues and prob even have to custom the front end. and youd end up with the same qualities of the origional engine imo.

Re: engine swap possible..?

America . . . . .

but seriously though, why would you want to put a smaller engine. That would be like owning a new corvette and wanting to put a 3000GT engine in it. It just doesn't make sense.

wow leave man just go and never turn back ok jk but dude trust me thats what i did to my 99 vr4s. i was like who buys mitsus and leaves in a mitsu engine it, people should just take all the mitsu engines out and put a engine in that gives out the same numbers. i mean it makes sense right, putting a lot of money and work in to the car and have no gains at all. It's cool because if i ever wanted to mod my car i would have to make it all coustom to fit on the 3000Gt and on the motor, or i can just pay a shit load of money to have some shop do it for me. and my sr20 engine in my vr4 it sounds sooo much better the the 3.0 v6 tt engine i had in my car before and the performance is just insane.

now that i see i'm not alone with the rb and sr swap i think i'm going to throw in some k20s in my 95 vr4 spyders.
