As i was walkin around on the other side where theres a junk yard. I found a Camry that has a V6 motor with a 5 speed tranny.

Can I swap it with that motor? and if not could i use that tranny? Since it does have longer gears?

That camry with 5speed v6 is very very rare .. at least in a 4 door camry it is 97-98 model and was only available a year or two .. Most 5spd v6's are in solaras ..

i have a 1mz and a 3mz and findanza flywheel for v6 application ,ecu and just about everything you need to swap in a v6 just don t have a cheap chassis yet ..

i drove a TRD solara which had every option TRD made for solara and with s/c it fun but FWD only creates a lot of wheel spin and you have to shift very fast ..

i would have had this swap done a long time ago but when you also own a ST205 it is hard to commit money to another project plus buying a house always gets in way of projects plans ..!!

TTE had a project car at Essen motor show in 04' it was a Toyota Avenis with 1mz twin turbo'ed and awd .. made over 300hp and was a station wagon but i would love to have as daily driver ..


anyway the biggest issue concerning this swap is with a doubt wiring ... if you commit to this swap you better love the smell of hot solder smoke as you will have a lot if it .. i would recommend doing a lot of homework on wiring before even starting swap ..
