^^ I agree with most of that, apart from the total cost of the swap and the ease. $1,900 is a little low for a V6 swap, though I'm hoping you can stick to that budget and make it happen. A proper 3S-GTE swap will cost around $4-5,000, and a V6 swap could easily hit that and more if a few mistakes happen. The most important bit is the ease of swapping in a 3S-GTE. It's been done over and over and over, so there's very little gray areas in the swap. It's well known. Doing the V6 swap, you're almost on your own. It's barely been done, so you could very easily encounter an unknown problem. What it boils down to is budget, preference, and mechanical ability. Both swaps have their benefits.
