I am ready to do my 3rd engine swap but this time I want an upgrade. Any suggestions as to what engines are swappable? I've been looking into the 2ZZE but wondering if there's something else that's possible without alot of modification...

right off the bat there are basically no swap kits. If you want to go all out I've seen a few rear wheel drive 2jz swapped, but that is a ton of time and money. Personally if i were to fully commit i'd go with a honda k series, but no matter what you'll be doing a lot of custom fab work

I think 2ZZ-GE will be your best bet for a minimal modification engine swap.

I saw a 3SGE put in one, but they had to remove the hood. Your best bet might be to get the 2zz and supercharge it since most superchargers are bolt on for the 2zz. A turbo would work too, but there's some engine modification you'd have to do for that one (crank, exhaust, injectors, etc).

I would consider a Honda K-series as previously mentioned. While some modification would be required, monkeywrenchracing.com has some support.

Thanx for the suggestions! What about a JDM engine?
