camry 5sfe\mr2 5sfe oil pump differences

[MR-355-5sfTe]

the title says it all....

my spare 5sfe that I got for my turbo build has a crank driven oil pump....it is bolted to the bottom of the block with a large cog connecting it to the crankshaft.....

my question is, will this be a problem when swapping engines? because I thought the oil pumps on mr2's were driven by the timing belt.... or am I just missing something really obvious here?

the spare engine is out of a 91 or 92 camry....will that make an important difference when installing it into a mr2?

anything?? even a smart-ass reply would help!

ok... I had to dig this out of page 6!!! I've confirmed the obvious difference in the two blocks.... now what I would like to know is: will I be able to swap oil pumps? I would prefer to keep the t-belt driven pump over the crank driven pump... any possibilities?

You should PM Wraith. He would probably have the answer. He has a lot of experience with both engines.
