In Rob J's conversion, also did custom inlet manifold, custom exhaust manifold. Some blocks have different mounting points on the block. (Series 2 MR2 was good for him in the KE25 corolla).

Issues around distributor cap pointing out the back of the head, ito firewall. Used an aftermarket computer, so didn't need the distributor, only the pickup inside it.
