I'd stay with what you have. Its cheaper (than a swap, and more parts are avalaible for AZ), more readily avaaliable, and easier to deal with. If you are interested in more power/dispalcement, do as mentioned earlier. Buy a core and build it up and trade it in.

stay with 2az. like it had been said already. there is alot you can do with the motor. if more HP is what you want. you have many many options. and you won't run into the problems you have with a swap.
