Yup, 2GR-FE off a 2009 Toyota RAV4. There's also another local V6 here in Vancouver with a 1MZ/3MZ hybrid.

On that note, I really wish people would stop using AZ and MZ engines for swaps. Or even worse, 3S-GTE swaps into newer cars. Toyota's once a decade engine refreshes are a huge difference. The 1MZ is less efficient than the 2GR at any power output despite having lower displacement. It is objectively a worse engine by every single measure.

Also, if it were me, I'd do some small mods to the 2GR before throwing it in, since why not. Raise compression ratio a little, maybe regrind the cams, grab a Lotus Evora ECU with the higher rev limit, etc. The 2GR is capable of great things.
