also about the awd trans... It will bolt up to the engine as its essentially an e153. BUT the transfer case interferes with the block. Its not much, and with careful grinding, it will fit fine.

still waiting to see who is going to do the 2GRFE in a celi with GT4 AWD drive train... (and perhaps + turbo!!!) biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif


No car on the road would have that configuration. AWD V6, (posible turbo) 2dr lift back, light.
