My friend keeps telling me that it is impossible to put an engine from a rwd or awd car into a fwd car because the engine would not face the same direction and would need to be rotated

And i am trying to tell him that a 3sgte would drop right into my gt with no custom work (if i got a clip)

So could someone please explain...

Then your friend doesn't know much about Celica and MR2 and how S-series engine is mounted on these cars.
They are basically the exact same engine mating to different transmissions.
You can put 3sgte engine from MR2 turbo in your Celica without any custom work.
It has been done many many times.
