Anything will fit in anything. All depends on how much money and time you're will to spend...As a direct swap, no.

The Supra has an inline-6 in a RWD platform. It won't fit in a FWD car where an inline-4 was is without MAJOR modifications.

Why?

Like I said, anything will fit with enough money...720R, anyone?

May have to modify the firewall for this one to fit:http://www.paceparts.com/product.asp?3=56150

This should fit nicely, as well...if you were completely tubed! Or you could just pop the rear hatch and lay down both seats, it should fit! http://www.motorsportsengineering.sae.o ... -crate.htm

Well, if you're going to lay the back seats down and open the hatch, why not go turbofan? Might melt some plastic and it'd be a devil to keep on the road. Not to mention the noise polution, but what the heck, right?

Try this for inspiration - Leno drives one of these and if I had his money so would I! http://www.fordfestiva.com/performance/shogun.html

Your best bet is probably a Toyota V6. The one that's in the Camry, Lexus RX300, and the ES300 (I think). Actually SCC did an article on swapping one of these into a 2nd gen MR2 back in April. If it fit in an MR2, it shouldn't have *too* much trouble (at least size wise) fitting under the hood of the Vibe.The article was:Hybrid How-toStuffing a 3.0-liter Camry V6 into a second-generation MR2

Or he could use this for inspiration. http://www.autoweek.com/cat_print.mv?po ... 66Thatâ€™s the SVT Cobraâ€™s blown 4.6 stuffed into a SVT Focus.

That is sweet! Now if G.M. could just stuff a LS1 in a Vibe hmmmm..............

why not just swap it with a twin turbo ecotec engine that is the best engine on the market. that is what i would do. what does everyone else think have you ever thought about the ecotec?
