Engine Swap...
Ths camry v6 may be a possibility, but the pricing along with the ecu, trans and custom axle's would be so much that you'd be better off getting a turbo, built internals and either a standalone or good piggyback. That would get you more power than the motor swap alone possibly could.
Being that this is n/a tC thread, i'm assuming you want to swap and build up a n/a motor. If thats the case, a 2zz would definitely fit if you like lift motors. If you didn't mind not going with a Toyota motor, your options are fairly endless.
The v6 (camry) will not fit in the tC without a good amount of work, its possible but it wouldn't be worth the money you dish out to make it happen.

This is kinda a random idea thread for swap ideas. not so sure its strictly NA or FI.
As far as swapping non-Toyota motors, I would imagin that is a whole new can or worms not worth dealing with? I mean, doesn't that just get kinda crazy? But then again, why not? I was just thinking of using another toyota engine in hopes that motor mounts etc would be closer than another setup from a different automaker. Certainly, i'd think this would be years down the line for most of us, but I like exploring the possabilities.
as far as the camery v6's are concerned, are they any more bullet-proof than our 2az-fe? or, is it the case with any engine, when you upgrade the internals it does not really matter what you started with. maybe its an issue of potential i guess.
