I dont know all of the exact details on the swap. and if im wrong please correct me other members, lol. i believe you are interested in the 3sgte out of the mr2. Some celicas had that engine too. i believe your camry has a 5sfe engine. the older ones had a 3sfe. on a 3sfe camry the 3sgte would use the same motor mounts. on a 5sfe camry you would have to get custom motor mounts fabricated. My question is did you hear $2000 for the engine or total job cost? The total job is alot of $ and even more labor and effort on someones part, either you or a shop. keep in mind that you have to worry about more than just the engine. wiring transmission and and so forth have to be addressed too. this is about all i know, i hope it helps. keep digging here. youll find that this question is actually asked frequently here.

Ok a complete 3sgte with tranny, ECU and wiring will run between 1500-3000 depending on the generation you get and how well of a deal it is. Thats just the parts. Then figure about 500 to have it shipped to you unless you pick it up. Now you will have to fab a mount for one of the motor mounts and you will have to splice in the wiring. There are more things that need to be done that I haven't listed. If you do it all yourself then you may be able to get away with a 5K project. The 3rd gen is like 260 hp and I believe the 1st gen is like 205 hp. If you pay a shop to do it you may as well buy an MR2 and just mod it.
