Those Anyone Know Or Seen A Mr2 Having An Lotus Engine In It?
Or Know Where They Sell Them At?

No, but the Lotus Elise has a Toyota engine in it (2ZZ). Originally, the MR2 was a joint venture between Toyota and Lotus-hence the mid engine design.

I think all the current Lotus models use Toyota engines (2ZZ on Elise and Exige) except for a GM Ecotec on one of them.

But this conversation should be over. You don't want to swap a Lotus engine into your MR2. Stick with the 3SGTE from CRW, it'll be more powerful.

Was it an MKIII MR2 Spyder?

If so, then it's got a 2ZZ-GE swap. It's a pretty common swap amongst Spyder owners.
