You can drop in a 4A-GE, 20v J-Spec 4A-GE or a 4A-GZE without too much hassle, and gain tons of aftermarket support by installing one of Toyota's finest n/a 4 cylinders ever made. Check out Toyosport's engine list

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't your car a FWD. A 7M-GTE engine is from a MKIII Supra, which is rear wheel drive. So no it wont work unless you do a lot of modifications. Anything can be done with a lot of money but it would be WAY cheaper just to buy a Supra. Unless you are or know a master fabricator it cannot be done. I would just do the 4A-GE or 4A-GZE or you could try and get a 3S-GTE in there but there would be a lot of wheelspin and torque steer. Anyway good luck with whatever you decide.

No because in the MR-2 it is mounted transversly like a FWD car. Look in the back of a MR-2 and you will see what I mean. It is a mid-engined car with rear wheel drive therefore it car run a setup similar to a front wheel drive car with the engine mounted transversly connected to a transaxle. Where as the 7M-GTE is mounted "front-to-back" like in every front-engine rear-drive car I can think of. If you were to try and turn the 7M-GTE 90 degrees to mount it side to side you would run into a plethora of clearance problems. You would have to widen the width between the strut towers a foot or more which would create one wierd looking car. The 3S-GTE on the other hand can be mounted in a FWD or RWD position. Not to confuse you or anything but it is small enough to be mounted side-to-side and also has the provisions for an engine mount to be put in a RWD car like my older Celica.
