Well if you are interested in doing the swap go head and do it and let us know how it came out

YOUR BEST BET IS TO JUST WRITE A LETTER TO TOYOTA TO START MAKING RAV 4'S W/ V6'S FROM THE FACTORY. MY FRIEND TRIED TO DO THAT. HE TOOK AND OLD 3.0 1996 CAMRY ENGINE AND TRIED TO PUT IT IN THE RAV. 1- THE ENGINE COULDNT FIT BECAUSE OF ENGINE MOUNT LOCATIONS AND CHASIS WORRIES 2-WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. YOUD BE BETTER OFF BUYING A USED TOYOTA 4 RUNNER WITH A V6 FOR THE SAME PRICE OF GETTING A CAMRY V6 ENGINE AND TAKING THE TIME AND PATIENCE TO JUST PUT A V6 IN A DAM RAV 4!!!

maybe if he used a more appropriate engine he might have a better chance ...

lets say a 2VZ-FE V6 from the Camry which the chassis was based from

that would work but I think my friend wouldnt waste time and money again to try this project.
