So i recently bought a 94 celica st 7afe, want more power obviously and found a 5vz-fe from a 4runner for 500 with ecm and all wiring. Was inquiring how much work would be needed to swap this in vs 3vz or 1mz. Also what transmission would i need. I have read k-esds swap but i just want to clarify if its more complicated swapping it into a st than a gt. What motor mounts would be needed, what axles, and such. If i can keep it a cheaper swap and not extensively hard ill go for it. Anyone shed some light on this?

well there you go, personally I wouldnt waste time on a 5VZ, its a heavy boat anchor. and it only makes 190 crank HP. the 1MZ is already a step up, lighter block and 200HP. the 3MZ setup like mine makes 220 HP and 240 TQ

There are some trick parts including complete motors available from nascar teams for the 5vz as it was used in the nascar dash series making almost 400hp NA. I bought built heads & TRD cams off a team for my motor build for a reasonable price and I am looking forward to seeing what it can do when I finally get it all together. I agree the with Smaay that mz blocks are a step up stock in weight/power/ease of swap in a 6th gen. I dont know how a 2gr figures into the equation but its been swapped into mr2s before. 5vzfe may not make alot of sense in a 6th gen.
