Ofcourse there's always the 20V option. Fits right on your ST motor brackets and you can use your own gearbox. I'd advise using the Blacktop instead of the silvertop except when you plan for boosting it later on. The silvertop is way overrated by Toyota in means of HP, but the Blacktop will achieve the HP given by Toyota.

But for all swaps counts: Think about your budget. If you think you're going to spend $1300, double it! It's always, i mean ALWAYS, much more expensive then you'd think.

If i could choose and lived in the US, i'd definitely go for the V6 swap. But i'm in Holland.

Because the V6's are nowhere to find in holland i bought a 4AGE 20V Blacktop. Lightweight engine, could use my old motor mounts, own gearbox, nice technique for an older engine, etc. Even the wiring of the 7AFE is a bit similair like the Blacktop one.
