Its a shame because after owning a few celicas i really like these engines but after looking into it they are too tall to use in my opinion, unless you have the sump scraping the road and a huge bonnet scoop and sit on a booster cusion
I've had a look at my 3SGTE engine in my MR2 and its not that big. Its no bigger than the RS2000 engine I've squeezed into my chassis. Once you strip all the crap off it its quite nice. You can read up some guys build diary of his install of a 3SGE in a lotus 7 style chassis.
