914 Project Idea, Any Toyota Experts? Options

[Sleepin]

I have plenty of experience with swapping Honda engines, but I know nothing of Toyota engines.
I have access via family (see free) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) to a running 1991 ES250 with the 2VZ-FE engine in it.

I also currently have a 914 without an engine in it sitting outside...so I started putting 2 and 2 together and wondering how feasable a swap would be. (if you can easily fit a SBC 350 in a 914...a Toyota V6 should glide right in.)

My questions have to do with a) the transmission b.) the transverse mount and c) the electrical (of course).

a) Kennedy makes adaptor plates for the Toyota 3.0 to bolt up to the Porsche 901 transaxle. Would the same adapter plate work on a 2VZ? (ie: are the bellhousing bolts the same on the 2VZ as they are on the 3.0?)

b.) Is there any perceived diffuculty or problems conventionally mounting the transversely setup 2VZ?

c) What all has to go with the 2VZ engine for it to operate correctly. Obviously the ECU, O2 sensors, and associated engine wiring. Anything else?


Thank you for your time reading this. I am looking forward to seeing if this project will work. To my knowledge, this would be the first time a 2VZ has ever been installed on a 914. Once a 2VZ has been installed, it should be pretty easy to convert up to the 3VZ....oh the joys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)
