Thats why you shoe horn them in :)

anything will fit into an engine bay....big or small.....theres 3 factors that contribute.

 

1. the size of the shoehorn

 

2. the size of the hammer

 

3. if a small hammer wont do it......use a bigger one....

(IE: 9 pound slegdy)

 

simple.

hahaha. I wouldn't call it shoehorning... but they must have gone through a lot of effort smashing the firewall in to fit my engine in. haha

rubbish. the mechanic i used get my parts from used to own a 1g-gte ke70. his firewall was stock as a rock

depends what you want i guess, a 2 litre 6 is arguably a better motor than a 2 litre 4. less reciprocating mass per cylinder and all that

it may fit in perfectly if you move the radiator to the other side of the bonnet latchy thingo.

These images don't work... I was curious to see how she turned out. :)
