I own a 5SFE '91 MR2. I see no reason as to why you would swap in that engine. It's reliable and decently torquey but little else.

Seeing as it has an extra ~30hp and ~40tq over a 4age, pretty straight forward swap and dirt cheap/readily avaliable donor motors are all pretty good reasons why people do it. A 20v 4age swap would be more fun, but the engine will probably cost 3x what a good 5sfe would.

Good value but I was hoping for a spoilerless slicktop. Looks like that seller isn't answering e-mails anyways: http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/5867314740.html

This looks promising but may be out of budget:

If I can get him to $2750 I may take it.

I know it has a wing and a sunroof, but it also has a BT 20v motor and 6spd transmission. I am tempted to go buy it, but that might get me in trouble with the wife....

despite what the ad says, it is also definitely a 87 unless someone went through the trouble to relocate the parking brake when converting a 85-86 interior to a 87+ one.

I wonder why he switched to the 6 speed? Wish the pics were better bet it would be nice to have the swap already done.

Honestly can't remember if mine had it or not. It had all the other options (HIDs, 17" wheels, cold weather pack) though, but it was a 2006 where apparently the sunroof is a standalone option.
