My 1995 celica standard 2.2l is toast the bottom end is gone. I must have starved the engine of gas and blew it. With that said I need to put a new engine in and I am thinking a 3sgte or a beams is out of my price range. I can get a used motor from the pull it yourself yard for $200. so I was thinking a V6 would be best since I want it to be faster and have more HP. My question is what V6 should I use? And What should I take with it ie. tranny, axles, ecu ect.?
My car has a ODB1 if that makes a difference.
lets say I can get any V6 1MZ ect. possable, what car is the best and what year should I look for. there is a Lexus with a Duel TB at the junk yard...

Thanks for your input

if its a dual TB then it is a VVT 1MZ. It will be mated to an auto trans and you cant defeat them so you will be stuck with a CEL.

I suggest pulling a 1MZ out of a 97 Camry. if you can find a manual, thats better, but an auto will work. the 97 ECU is the same between auto and manual. if you use your stock trans then you can use your axles. if you use the Camry trans you need to source axles and those are $$$$

read my threads on my swap and the swap i did in the ST.
