2nd Generation Possible 2VZ-FE V6 Swap to 3S-FE I4
Has anyone ever swapped from the 2VZ-FE V6 to the 3S-FE I4 before? I been thinking of doing it because I feel that the four banger is much more reliable and easier to work with. How many things such as electrical would I have to change/switch over?

The passenger side mount is incompatible between the V6 and I4 chassis.

Keep the V6. It is more hassle to do the motor swap (along with cost!) than you would save by swapping.
