personally i would NEVER do a BEAMS swap. its a cool engine but im just not impressed with it. since you are coming from an ST, its going to be the same about of work and will cost less to do a V6 swap. look at my thread for what i did.

Im going to have another 1MZ engine for sale really soon, that is fully rebuilt.

I think cost is the major downfall of the BEAMS. It's a lot of money to spend for 200 hp and no room for improvement without spending big money for a standalone.
