Pontiac Solstice with a 2JZ (yes, supra) swap
I came across this on a forum that I frequent. Apparently the engine mounts on the 2JZ matches perfectly with the LNF (ecotec) engine; and the stock Aisin transmission! I would love to have a Saturn Sky with a 2JZ engine (essentially a Solstice with a prettier face)

It is still a 'work in progress.'
The build page is here: (I'm not sure if it's OK to post a link to another car forum..)
HTML Code:
http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5335430-2JZ-Solstice-Swap/page3 There are pics on pg3 that shows how the engine mounts are bolted up directly.

^Me too.. but the trunk really pisses me off.. it has like 7.9cubic ft of space.. where as a MX5 has close to 10.. You can fit two hand carriers in the MX5 and still have some space left..

Nice swap!
The car has a ton of potential, it's just that shitty little motor they put in doesn't cut it. Ecotecs can be powerful as hell, but nothing beats displacement.
Like this turbo LS7 version.
