"whatever" swaped st205, which motor would worthy replace a 3sgte? Options

[underground_desi...]

OK! I know it's not a forum friendly discussion but it's really common on other cars (rwd mostly)
you see sr rb 2jz and ls , bmw and mercedes v8 and v10s powered cars a lot these days.
Of course you can make that power of a 3s but it's not the best motor around.
Which swap would you do if you wanted big hp numbers and reliability for an AWD st205?
I've seen some v6 but they are fwd , and also a 4g (evo) swapped here in Greece.

I would like to hear some opinions and not the typical "stick with your 3s".

plain and simple, you can put any engine you want. Most people here, dont talk about it because it cost money. If you have it, and like a challenge go for it.

there is a guy here doing a RWD conversion with a 3sgte engine. not that easy tough, but with money, and time and skills you can do it.

This is not your average, high skill, high coin, DIY fabricator forum. There are a few exceptions. Some of these guys are good.

But most wont think over the box, because the cost is high. a 3sgte is around 4000 usd, and thats with no body mods, so you can imagine. The MR2 guys are swapping 2gr and their cost is 7000 +++, so if you want a real RWD celica, the cost is going to be higher... lol

but the best engine to start a rwd will be a 2jz, but for the money you will invest, better buy a beat up supra and repair it. A black top beams is only 200 hp, same as redtop. So you see practicality comes into play, unless you must have a rwd celica to drag race it, i can guarantee you, no one will answer here, and this post will be locked...
