I somehow managed to throw a rod and punch a hole in the block on my '05 xA automatic.
If I were to look for a straight replacement, are there any other vehicles using the 1NZ that have a setup that would be "plug and play?"
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

 

You can search for the 1NZFE on google and Wiki engine will come up with entry that lists most applications but off the top of my head , Echo has the same engine and I think the Yaris as well. The first gen xB for sure would be plug and play...or another xA (maybe at salvage yard - wrecked)..
Good luck and hope you get the xA running again.
