oh my god, i second the motion to turb the caps off...
now seriously, tell us what YEAR and MODEL it is... THEN we can know what engine will fit your car... if it is a gen 2, then go 3sge or 3sgte. if it is 92-93, go with a 3vz v6... i have some spare parts i might be able to hook you up with... if it a 94-2001 go with a 1mz, v6. i did this swap, and can help you with the wiring and stuff...

the 2.0l 3sfe is only good for a direct replacement in a gen 2. the 2.ol 3s-ge is a good performance NA engine. the 2.0L 3sgte is a good performance turbo engine. the 5sfe is a standard replacement for the 4cyl in gen 3 and 4. the 3.0L v6 3vz-fe is a good upgrade from a 4cyl for 92-93 models only. the 1mz-fe 3.0L v6 is a good stock upgrade for the 94+ camry with 4cyl.

replacing the engine with the same engine will cost you between 600-1200 for the engine, plus labor if you dont do it yourself. when you get into different engines, the cost rises, along with labor cost cause of longer work time. i just did a 4cyl to v6 swap in my 94 camry. it ended up costing me about 2500 bucks. it is the best performance mod ever for a stock 4cyl.
