The 3vz 5vz 1mz 3mz 2gr
The 2gr has yet to be tried due to cost
I have a 1mz an smaay has a 3mz
After you get it in its really no harder to work on than a 4cyl be leave it or not
An as far as weight goes the 1mz an 3mz have aluminum blocks witch makes them very light but still very strong so the weight really doesn't change

i'd like to see some pics of that rear bank and how it sits relative to the engine bay, kurt.

why wont anyone document theyre v6 swap here?
smaay posted over on mr2oc about it, but never seen a thread detailing his swap here.
dont make any sense to me.
i think smaay did some kind of hybrid setup, IIRC.

put any of these v6 swaps on the highway against a 2nd or especially a 3rd gen 3s, and you'll wish you had just done the easier swap. lol
