How can you say that it's "essentially" stock but it was never put into the car from factory?! WTF.

The MR-S only ever left the production floor with a corolla motor. I think TTE might have done a few versions of the MR-S with a 2zzge or turbo'd the corolla motor but those were limited runs and certainly not assembled on the factory floor. You're getting into the aftermarket when you're talking about putting a 2zzge in the mr-s. And if you guys want to get into an aftermarket discussion, that's another story. Might as well do a k20a unit and be head from the start. motor swaps are motor swaps. Quite frankly, I'd rather start with the NB Miata and V8 that SOB rather than poking around swapping in one 4 cylinder motor for another 4 cylinder motor.
