History:
I bought the car two years ago, completely stock and in awesome condition. The interior is immaculate and the exterior has zero rust. I bought it with intention of performing a (fairly common) 3vz-fe V6 swap. The swap offers turbo model performance but with added low end torque and a menacing V6 growl. The 3vz-fe is actually a 92-93 Camry motor, known for it's reliability and sleeper performance.

I meticulously performed the complete swap, mating the 3vz-fe to the original N/A S54 tranny. The current motor in the car has a blown head gasket and would need a rebuild to run properly. I made the mistake of not purchasing the motor from a reputable source and essentially got what I paid for.

Not one to make the same mistake twice, I purchased another motor, this time from reputable JDM motor importers, Tiger Japan (have documentation). Not only did I purchase a low mileage 30k-40k motor.

The car simply needs the old motor dropped out and the new one placed in. All wiring has been completed and I have several videos of the vehicle running before the head gasket blew as evidence. I would be more than happy to send them upon request. You simply unbolt the subframe, support the motor with an engine hoist, remove motor mount bolts, and drop it down.

Attached below is a link that outlines the 3vz-fe swap and thoroughly explains the work accomplished. I highly encourage anyone interested to take a look:

I am currently in the process of purchasing a home and unfortunately I have to rearrange my priorities. I have quite a bit of money tied up in this MR2 as evident by the lists above.

I challenge anyone to find an mr2 v6 project this complete, with these parts installed for my price. That being said, I am not looking for any trades or lowballs. Serious inquires only please. I am more than willing to provide pics, videos, and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for looking!

Body is clean and rust free, inside is near immaculate for a 20+ year old car.

I believe you would be able to recoup more $$$ if you would drop in the engine yourself and switch the transmission. Especially since you already done that before. This V6 with E153 and all the mods you have would be an awesome car!
I'm a little pressed to sell at this point and am considering the easiest route to get it back on the road. I may simply install the new motor and part out the turbo trans/axles/hubs and coilovers as I have limited time.
If I didnt live on the other side of the continent and in a different country, I would snap this up in a heartbeat.

GLWS, very nice car.
