Everything in this quote just made my eye twitch.

I can't tell if he's joking or not.

@Mac: Its 2Z-GTE, not GTTE...this isn't a nissan motor. And, if he's being serious, probably the 3UZ.

I agree, the 3S seems to be a suitable candidate for a swap, but honestly, we can't tell anything until we can see the clearance under the hood. Its going to be running a Flat 4 and might not take nicely to swapping in an inline, though if I'm not mistaken, the 3S needs to be at slant angle anyways for oil flow. Can look kinda silly.

Trying to think of others engines that might be easier to swap (possibly straight bolt up to stock FT-S transmission, or simple bellhousing swap w/ no welding necessary). Course, don't know, don't have exact model info on the transmission...maybe the AR?
