My name is Stephen, pronounced like Steven, lol, I'm 17. I bought the car with 127xxx for 4k drive out, with the dealer dropping in a 60k motor in it. He wanted $4900, I talked him down with cash. Its the ST, it was relatively stock, with an upgraded deck and speakers. Black interior and exterior. Sun/Moon roof(difference?) new tires, and its a 5 speed. Though its an ST, still debating weather i should swap in a 3VZ FTE into this car, or buy a wrecked alltrac and work on that. Ideas/suggestions?

3VZ FTE will put out 350 WHP easy on like 13 lbs of boost plus 200 or so pounds of torque from 2000 rpm. the only reason i really want the V6 is the low end torque. This V6 also has a pretty high redline/fuel cut.. 6850/7200RPM, WIDE power band.. just gonna miss my 25 or so MPG
Also i was looking at a rolled '93 Camry a few weeks ago to get the engine. on the timing belt cover it says 3VZ  and the emissions sticker 3VZ FE. I looks like it would fit nicely, new motor mounts, turbo over the tranny, some good heat shielding and we're set.
