I haven't really thought about that one much. But yes, the LY7 could be a good candidate. There are LFX engines available brand new here, also. You can get a brand new crate LFX and 6L50 auto for about 4500 USD delivered here in Aus.

I was starting to feel guilty about my LS3 swap and how the entire drivetrain is now basically GM (I have even installed the 8.6 inch GM/ZF IRS diff with 3.45 ratio) and wouldn't it be nice if I could get the new 86/BRZ and do a swap much more Toyota focussed. Sure, It isn't even a Toyota, its a Subaru after all, so my argument is a bit pointless. But still, something a bit more totally Japanese might be a fun challenge. 1GZ swap perhaps?
