Toyota MR2 Message Board - View Single Post - How I did my V6 swap... A Stock 2001 1MZ set-up.

Separate the cross member from the engine. Set the Cross member aside for later.

Discard or store the old engine to sell to someone else w/ a 5s-fte project.

I would suggest taking this opportunity to do some regular maintenance and upgrades to your car as well.

I upgraded to a Turbo radiator, put in Eibach sportline springs, KYB AGX struts, Mr2T front brake calipers, paint all (4) calipers, new brake pads, Mr2T tandem plate master cylinder, Pro-thane suspension bushings, 93T sway bars, new 255L/hr fuel pump, new coolant hoses & clamps (ALL of them), and removed all rust on the suspension arms for re-painting.

Since this is a write up on the engine swap, I'll leave you to figuring all of those upgrades out. I suggest the BGB.
