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". |

I dont think they have ever been mated, but the bellhousing bolt pattern is the same. They have been mated to E153s, so the only potential problem you would face is whether the transfer case would hit the block.
People who have mated a 1mz to an e154 said they had to grind some material off the block to get them to fit together, but there were also special castings of 1mzs that came with an awd gearbox (maybe an awd rx300?). There may be awd variants of the 2gr as well, noone really knows a lot about them since they are so new and expensive. |
