I could get the engine for free, but is it possible to just do a direct swap?

the 1nz-fe is the only direct engine.

it would be interesting to see a 3s-ge, but i was thinking more of a zz-fe mainly bc the 3s-ge doesnt have steering linkage

Very few people have even attempted, let alone finished a swap.

otherwise i wouldnt do a swap
