I've been debating on engine swaps and I have some questions. How reliable would a swapped car be? What swap would be the best for a daily diver?

OK this is just getting sad
For starters I'm no fanboy.
I've said what I've had to say about the v6 swap an its just as good of a swap as a 3s if your not worried about only power.

Pressure2: I had a lot of respect for you,your celicas, an what you have brought to this site. But I have lost a lot of respect for you after reading what basically been trash talking from you to box an anyone that has v6 in there post
Say what you want but the 2mz in a celica is one hell of a motor
Mine isn't even at 100% yet an I take out b swap Hondas like there a d series still.
Saying you know how a v6 will be in a celica because you drove a v6 camry is like saying oh I know what a v8 mustsng will feel Cruz I drove a crown Vic
Just because you know a few power numbers for a motor doesn't mean you know crap about how it will run in a car you've never seen it in before
Oh an I'd be willing to be mine or smaays v6 could spank that 300+ HP 3s of your wife on some good twistie roads cuz we haven't thrown off the balance of our celicas with all the extra weight the 3s adds. Powers not everything man....you'd think after owning a celica for 13years you would know that by now

I'd be willing to race a v6 celica on a 'twistie' track.
