Best bet is a 16v 4age. So, I'd have to say a 4agze. Early MR2's have it as well as the early model ae101's levin. Way easier to find performance parts on the market, USDM maintenance/replacement parts at auto stores will also be easier to find. The 20v, honestly, is a hassle to find maintenance and performance parts as well as being somewhat expensive if you find any. Go 4AGZE, a better choice for a drop in motor.

If you decide to throw in a 4agze let me know, i have a friend that has one and might be willing to sell it. i think the best swap haha would be a 7agte, but that is not an easy swap haha.

By far the most cost-effective swap is the 4AGE silvertop. It bolts right in, *most* parts you need you can find easily enough, and no intercooler is needed. The wiring is the hardest part but is easy if you send it to me. Next up would be the 4AGZE which is going to need either some custom mounts/axles, or a 4AGE flywheel and the 7A tranny, plus custom intercooler and piping, and of course wiring. Next up from that is a 3SGE variant, 3SGE BEAMS redtop being the 1st choice, easier than the 3SGTE only because the transmission bolts in (with GT equipment) and no intercooler is needed. In between here I would place the V6 variants, with one totally custom mount needed, and again no intercooler required. Lastly, the king of them all, the 3SGTE, which will require a custom clutch, GT tranny, front-mount intercooler and piping, etc etc etc
