So, we have this Toyota MR2 Turbo with a now-crispy engine, and we have the insurance company on the other line. The engine looks salvageable, but if it has to come out for the clean-up, do we just put it back in or do we look for something better?
Let’s be honest, you’re for hot, nasty, badass speed, and …

And, if you’re saying to yourself, “Hey, I’ve been a GRM subscriber long enough to remember when you blew up a whole bunch of V6s back when you did a Camry project,” well, we did.
I remember that article. Good times!
Modern japanese V6's seem pretty top notch for mid-engine swaps (and swaps in general!). I'm a fan of the Honda J series, but the Toyota engines are cool too.

Man I love this! Neat project.
