Hey guys... I'm out to sea but I still get email! So anyway, I was
wondering... my buddy got an MR2 (1989, nonsupercharged, but for only $500
and runs good!) and even though he calls it his beater and doesn't want to
do any mods to it, I got to drive it and I REALLY LIKE IT... I was
wondering, if I got one, what would the feasibility of putting the SHO
engine in there be? I don't know how big the engine compartment is (I bet
it's too small :( but I could convert the trunk into an engine compartment
extension). But it's rear-engine RWD, so mounting it transversally wouldn't
be a problem. Anybody thought of this?

Can you imagine what a 3.2 BOS to a 2100lb vehicle would be like! I'd die!
hee hee! it'd be the coolest car ever!
