I think to much some slap me, 3s < 5s Options

[macavely]

Ok so toyota has the 3s block which is a great one we all know this .. but see as its te 3th make of the S block wouldn't the 5S be a better block ? ... why would toyota make the 5 th version of the block weeker then that of the 3rd? .... and while at it why would the internals be weaker ? it just would make any senne for toyota to not move up .. and keep there "toyota is for ever " thing going ... and then why would they put the 5S in so many cars and in the one that they sell the most ? unless it can take abuse like a pro ? then i'm thinkin my eingine has 221,XXX K miles on it and she is still strong ... and doesn't burn oil ? now what i want to try is doing is fine and camary with the SS and boost it the right way and see how much before it will blow up ....

The numbers only signify a revision of the bottom end; just because it is higher does not necessarily mean it is a larger block...or stronger or better, hehe.

EDIT: I forgot to add...the letters BEFORE the dash mean the engine family or series. The letters AFTER the dash specify the features of the engine, like turbo, supercharger, fuel injection, etc. Here are the letters after the dash!


G - Wide angle Twin Cam (sportier head)
F - Narrow angle Twin Cam (economical head)
T - Turbocharged
Z - Supercharged
E - Electronic Fuel Injection
U - Emissions control (Japanese)
C - Emissions control (Californian).
