hey thanks guys that site is nice! i found a couple engines in my area that im gonna check out. anyone know what i should be looking for. are there any common problems with these engines that i should look out for just by looking at them? thanks guys

if your planning on doing performance mods later on. you might wanna look into getting a 1mz from a gen4 camry or gen1 solara so you can add the trd supercharger, but ask around if a supercharged 1mz will fit in a gen3 because i'm not 100% sure.

the main problem witht egen 3 is theres no space under the hood, and shit gets in the way etc (mount or something)

i'm not looking to go performance route, its prob gonna be my daily driver that way my vr-4 can have a day off here and there. but you never know... thanks for the heads up though

the rebuild your old one in your spare time. just in case.

i actually went from CT to RI to get my 1mz when i did my swap... Do car-part.com and search in RI.

lemme know how it goes, if you need help swapping the motor i live close enough and ive done it a few times...

ya i found one like 5 mins from my house with 90k for 800 with a 6 month warranty. does that sound like a good deal???

i'll def keep you in mind if i run into some issues changing it out

its hard to argue with a 6 month warranty. and if its close to your house go 4 it!!! you may be able to find a cheaper motor but then you'll have to drive to get it or pay to ship it.
