Simply put, Toyota has several motors that can handle way more hp more reliably than most domestics. You want lots of power? Swap a 2j. Nissan, want more reliable power, swap an RB25 or 26. You can't need more power than what either of these engines can handle reliably. You want a v8, there's plenty of import engines that can make more reliable power than any given domestic. Truth be told.

I do understand the satisfaction of completing a diff motor swap from another brand, but guess you can call me a "semi-purist" when it comes to imports. I personally would never buy an import and swap a domestic in it. It defeats the purpose of buying the car and vise-versa. I do love the older domestics btwn the 60-70's, and 80's-90's imports in their own way. Both can compete with each other.
