is this just crazy talk? or would this be feasable?

i know lots of truck guys do the swap, but how about in a camry? it should bolt up to the tranny, motor mounts? exhaust those would probably be the interesting parts right...?

well i'm kinda always looking for a new engine, something i can take apart, send off to get bored out, low mileage...

this is already bigger, could make it bigger, high comp pistons/rods or a supercharger which isn't even really an option with the 3vz

i'd love to be able to compare the 2 engines, take mesurements, find out if the exhaust lines up

Can you search the web and find out what else the 5V comes in besides the runner if anything? Did it ever come in a car? If it did, you can look at one and get a visual. If not, you might have smog issues putting a truck engine in a car since the standards are lower. At least that would be the case in CA. YMMV of course.

Damn! Great find Oldman.

The idea seems VERY intruiging and quite badass

Hey, I was just thinking, what about the 1MZ? You could get one for a reasonable price with tranny if you want and it should more or less drop right in. I helped someone drop one in a Celica and it gets up and goes pretty good now. Got better specs than the 3VZ that's for sure. I think there's a supercharger kit for it too. And it's all aluminum so should save you some weight.
