Though I'm a trained Toyota mechanic, they don't teach you anything that's not in the book. Plus as soon as I got my degree and all their certificates I went to Honda and never looked back ... until I purchased my 6gc. With Honda, there are a number of hybrid engine combinations you can do, some worth it, some not. Is this at all so with the 5S-FE? Are there any heads that are at all common to swap on to a 5S-FE block, or is my only choice swapping the engine to get more performance (besides adding a turbo, which to me is more of a pain than it's worth. If I go turbo, I'm just going to swap an entire -GTE in)

a number of members started swaps like what you're talking about, namely bcentaur and presure2, but there haven't been any updates lately. Unfortunately Toyota engines aren't as modular as those from honda; there's a fair amount of drilling and grinding to open up oil and coolant ports.
