Its been a long time

It has been a very long time since i've posted but the Camry seems to be reaching the point of no return. I am not positive what i want to do with it right now but an engine swap is looking to be the answer. I have the 3vz-fe and i'm wondering if any of you may have some experience in doing the motor swap b/c i don't want to get ripped off when i decide on the place to do this daunting task. I do have the money and will pay it to continue the life of my camry. I just don't want the money i've put in it already to go to waste and i haven't accomplished the goals i have set for it yet. I need to decide quickly b/c my current motor is costing me more and more in repairs every week.

first, tell us what model you have...

tell us what the current engine is; is it the 3vz-fe that you mentioned, or is that the engine you're going to swap in..?

and tell us what you're plans are (possible turbo/supercharger, NA power, 3s-gte, etc)...

then maybe we can help you a wee bit more...

thanks for responding guys,
i have a 93 v6 xle w/ the 3vzfe in it now. i want to swap and do a turbo but i need to know what would be the best way. The 3sgte would be sweet but are the motor mounts the same on the 6 cylinder as they are for the 4. I live in west chester Pa. and i know of a shp or 2 that would do the swap but i want to make sure i get what i'm paying for you know.
