The only swap besides the drift cars has been the 3.3L V6 from the Sienna. Search the forum, there's a thread or two.

Yeah doesn't matter where the motor comes from really. For example, Honda guys that put J-series swaps into their Civics and Integras. One of the cars it's used in originally: Honda Odyssey.

More torque and power is always better, who cares what it comes from.

This right here is a problem.

Unless you have a friend or family member who will help you with this, it will cost you an arm and a leg to do a motor swap.

Are you trying to get more power by swapping? If not, I wouldn't worry about it.
