Thus far, I've only istalled the OEM mounts without the rubber bushings. According to my measurements, the mounts should come very close to the G's OEM slots, if not then, a perfect fit. I'm more worried about the oil pan not clearing the sway bar than anything else at this time.

I expect to have the tranny and adapter plate on friday and by then I'll be diving into the retrofit.

No solid mounts for me... I like a little luxury in my G.

That damn vette gets more looks than my roommate's late model exotics. IE Aston Martin V8 vantage and Lamborghini Gallardo!?

Looking good!

nice

Very hot......

sick...just sick

You're doing all this by yourself? ? ? :icon11: :icon11: Holy crap, how did you get so good at engine work?

did someone jack the red MR2's fog light in the first pic? neways....nice build you have going on

Dear Lord, how did I miss this thread, unreal. Good luck and I am definately subscribing to this thread!!!

I used to work at a speed shop where I perfected my engine building skills. If you have some concept of how a motor works, you can put a motor together. Its the little things people tend to miss that add up in the end and lead to engine failure. File-fitting, clearances and torque specs/procedures are a huge part of getting the job done right.

LOL that poor MR2 has been thru hell and back.

Nice project! Can't wait till it's done.

outright sick son

Sweet project

I didn't check this thread in a few days and bam, more beauty shots!, this is going to be absolutely sick when it's done!

Cool! :spot: I didn't know that the mounts would be close to or the same as OEM and that you could fit a Q45 motor in there without some significant fab or modifications. That's great news for anyone else considering this swap.

Thanks for the info and I'm looking forward to an update on whether the motor actually fits in there as easily as you planned/expected.:)

Looks good, but don't scratch the Vette in the background!

Got another question tecni...:D

Do you anticipate any problems with the accessories (A/C, power steering, etc.) fitting back in without significant modification or relocation?

tecni... its a heck of a project
