5SFE(no-turbo MkII) are dirt cheap. You can get a decent one with transmission and ECU for less than $2000.
Gen2 3SGTE (MkII USDM turbo) are a little more than $2K.
Gen3 3SGTE (MkII JDM turbo 95-99) be ready to pay through the nose for one of these. They are hard to come by and very expensive (Roughly $4K). The advantage is a better intake and exhaust set up. Stock Hp is about 245. If you are into modding your cars this engine is the one for you.

On the second generation MR2 and MR2 Turbo (1991 through 1995 USA, and 1991 through 1999 for the rest of the world), it is on the FRONT side of the engine, between the engine and the rear firewall of the cabin area. It is the right side of the car.
speed-source.com, look for the mr2 mk1.5 mount kit
The 2.2L early 90s enging was DOHC, not SOHC and no, it would not be easy to put that engine and transmission into a MkI MR2.
