google.com or ebay.com

you can find several places that sell JDM engines online that were taken out and shipped over here. Price is ging to be in the 800 dollar range minimum by the time ou pay for the engine and the shipping.


Here is one on Ebay right now.

wait aminute do you have the V6 or I4. you state you are loking for a V6 but you want it for a v4 Camry.

Another thing is that its much cheaper to sell your inline 4 and go buy a V6. Unless you have a bunch of guys and a decent shop willing to do it for free. You could probably drop a turbo in for less..

Words of advice would be unbolt your mods, put the stock stuff back and sell your i4 and go shop a V6 manual.

well if you do fo the V6 route, (fun!!!) it would be extremely better as a manual, not auto... may take some work to put in a V6(motor mounts prolly need changing, or beefed up at least, need new exhaust prolly., possibly need new cv joints, id recommend getting rear disk brakes, considering the addad power, and prolly. speed!!!, prolly will need new ecu, and maybe wireharnesses, maybe new radiator) as amerikim said...id just shop for a good shaped V6 MANUAL!!!

^lol, i think most of us with the 3VZ-FE's wish we had manuals, well i do ...
