Really bummed now because I was all excited about having Dr. Tweak do an engine swap on my 95 GT. I was going to go with a 4th gen Caldina. Found out the he/they no longer do engine swaps at all, and are only focusing on wiring harnesses. That being said, does anyone know of a really good, respectable swap shop specifically in upper Midwest if need be. I would love to learn how to do all of this myself, but I have none of the necessary lifts, etc., and really no garage in which to do it. Thanks in advance.

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

While obviously not in the midwest, we at Prime Performance invented the GEN4 swap into the MR2 and would be more than happy to help you go GEN4. We have done Celicas, Alltracs, Rav4s, MK1/2/3 MR2s. It is what we do. www.primemr2.com. We have cars shipped to us from the entire continental US. Give us a call if you would like to talk options. I hope we can help you. Have a great day. -------------------- Prime Performance - GEN4 3SGTE SWAP SPECIALISTS

Don't have the tools, or a lot of the knowledge needed, but eager to learn. Would be great if I knew someone near where I live that was doing this to theirs, and I could help out and learn at the same time. This post has been edited by 6thcelestial: Jul 5, 2014 - 12:53 PM |
