This is based on v6/i4 Camry numbers vs 5s/3s Celica numbers. It's true but we're talking 75lbs at most [and yes that would include accesories]. One thing to consider relative to your comments - the v6 puts more weight forward of the drive line than the S series motors so altho they have similar weights the balance is still significantly disturbed compared to S series motors. Doesn't appear to be an issue but it's true. In contrast the MR2 v6 swaps actually benifit from this as more of the engines weight is pushed towards the center of the vehicle.

v8 has been done in an alltrac [if I'm not mistaken someone has made a thread here recently on this site but I've seen it before] using 1uz-fe and "twin" turbos. Search GT8 and you'll see. With enough money it's possible but more of a novelty than anything useful.
