I've read up through the engine swap forums but I wanted to see all this info in one place. I have basic mechanic skills but I've never swapped an engine before.
My '89 MR2 has a 4AGE engine that is unknown condition. It sat outside some dudes house for 5 years and he never started it within that time period. I'm thinking of buying something like this:
86-90 JDM 4A-GZE AW11 MR2 SUPERCHARGED ENGINE, 5SPD TRANSMISSION 86 87 88 89 90 JDM TOYOTA 4AGZE 4AG-ZE SUPERCHARGED ENGINE+TRANSMISSION [4AGZE] - $1,100.00 : got-jdm.com, JDM Imported Engines, Performance Auto Parts at Wholesale Prices
Here are my questions:
1. Is this JDM 4AGZE a direct fit into the engine bay?
2. Assuming the harness isn't cut on the 4AGZE, is it plug and play in to my car?
3. Is there anything I need to modify with the clutch or trans the 4AGZE comes with?
4. Will my existing axles/CVs work with the 4AGZE?
5. Besides a SC trunk lid, what else am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
