As far as I know the F2T (2.2lt) is a SOHC and the FE3 is a DOHC motor and even though I don't know a lot I can't see it being a straight swap.

The FE3 is a Japanese spec engine but came in different forms. The most powerful version had more power than our turbo we got here and it was non-turbo!

Also when I mentioned different forms of the FE3 I believe this was due to different cams ;)
