V6 Swap? Options

[SpyderGS]

I'm not sure if this question was asked yet or not, But is there enough room in the celica engine bay to swap in a camry V6? The V6 has a lot more parts available for it (in the U.S. atleast) than the 3s-gte, and being a bigger engine seems like it would have more potential. But beyond the debate, could it work?

I would say yes it can be done but that your prob can't without alot of custom fab and alot of money. I did read though in one of my magazines that they did swap in a 3 liter V-6 thats in the lexus rx300 and es300 (i think are the models). I dunno its prob the one in the camry too. They put it in a mr-2 and said with all the tubo equipment on the 3sgte, that they had similar dimensions and weights. The gain was more low end torque with the V-6 of course but man they did alot of work to make the switch. Im trying to find the magazine article with the engine codes and all that. Its one thing in the mr2 with the mid engine layout but i would think that since the v-6 weighs more so putting it in the front would screw with the weight distribution. Its actually a good idea, we should figure out the diff in weights becauase you could find the V-6 for alot less than aa 3sgte and it puts out like 200-225 hp so its comarable in power. Someone smart like Charlie let us know how possible it is to do in our Celicas.
