To the TwoBrutal forum owner or mods: I think you are going to need a V8 swap section in the forum. I am not sure where to put my thread. Does it belong in the Mk2 general swap banter ?
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Project MV8R
(named after the Sard Racing MC8R LeMans Twin Turbo V8 racer based on the MR2 mk2)
The powertrain fit a little better than expected. If it weren't for axle/suspension interference, it would be possible to put this powertrain into the car with NO cutting! However, due to the design of this transaxle, cutting is definetly required. HOwever, it won't be a lot of cutting.
In the photos above, the powertrain needs to be raised about 3-4 inches. I have to make the tranny notch on the left side of the frame larger to match the tranny I am using, as the notch only matches the E153/S54. ONce I make the notch larger (I am going to attempt to do this by hammer rather than cutting), I will be able to raise the powertrain to thier correct/final location.
