I never would have paid what he's asking though. What he didn't list is that it has 220K mi,

The only toyota v-6s that should be realistically considered are the 5VZ-FE and the 1GR-FE. Other than those the 22RE and the 3RZ are the way to go.

5vz swap is the only thing to do with a 3.0 truck.

Frack me..
I found a pretty good article on racing with the 3vze.. it is on my work computer, and I will try to post it tomorrow. I am in love with my 3.4.. it makes some weird noises, but runs great.

And if your feeling like a millionair then there is always the UZ engines

Got this from Wiki..Thought it was interesting, the 3VZ-E is the "head blower" (don't get excited..
) and the 3VZ-FE is the Camry engine? I wonder if it would bolt up and be cheaper? From that MR2 article, it sounds pretty convincing that it is a good engine.3VZ-E
The 3VZ-E is a 3.0 L (2958 cc) version and is the only SOHC VZ-series motor, and the only non-DOHC V6 Toyota built. Bore remains at 87.5 mm (3.4 in) but stroke is pushed to 82.0 mm (3.2 in). At introduction output was specified as 145 hp (108 kW) then later bumped to 150 hp (112 kW) at 4800 rpm with 180 ft·lbf (244 N·m) of torque at 3400 rpm. Despite sharing an engine family designation the 3VZ-E and 3VZ-FE have few parts in common.
Applications:
* 1988–1995 Toyota 4Runner
* 1988–1995 Toyota Pickup
* 1993–1995 Toyota T100
3VZ-FE
The basic design is a revised 3VZ-E iron-block motor, mated with aluminum DOHC 24-valve heads. It has a forged steel crankshaft and cast connecting rods. The upper intake plenum is of the split-chamber design with Toyota's ACIS variable-intake system feeding three sets of runners for both heads.
Because the VZ originated for truck and SUV use, the 3VZ-FE happens to be a physically tall motor. To make the engine fit in FWD engine bays, Toyota tilted the motor towards the firewall. This "tilt" is so severe (~15 degrees) that reaching the rear bank of cylinders is nearly impossible without first removing the intake plenum.
Parts-wise, the 3VZ-FE shares very little with the rest of the VZ engine family. The main bearings are shared with the 3VZ-E, but little else. Cams can also be interchanged between the 5VZ-FE and 3VZ-FE heads.
The 3VZ-FE was used on the Camry platform between 1992 and 1997.5 depending on the market: North America saw the engine only in 1992 and 1993 while Australia and New Zealand had it from 1992 through 1996. The engine was available in some parts of Asia in the Toyota Windom through 1997.5.
The 1992–1993 engine is rated at 185 hp (138 kW) at 5800 rpm and 189 ft·lbf (256 N·m) at 4600 rpm. 1994+ motors were rated at 200 hp (149 kW) at 5800 rpm and 204 ft·lbf (277 N·m) at 4600 rpm. There is no mechanical difference in the engine. Compression ratio is 9.6:1 for both versions. The power spread of the 3VZ-FE is wide, having 100% torque between 2500–4600 rpm, with power trailing off by 6000 rpm. Stock redline is 6600 rpm, and the ECU's fuel/ignition cut is 7200 rpm.
Though harder to find in good used condition in North America (unless imported), the 3VZ-FE is fairly common in most parts of the world, having a long lifespan in popular models.
Applications:
* 1992–1993 Toyota Camry
* 1991–1996 Toyota Windom/Lexus ES300
5VZ-FE
The 5VZ-FE is a 3.4 L (3378 cc) engine which replaced the 3VZ-E. Bore is up to 93.5 mm (3.7 in) and stroke is 82.0 mm (3.2 in) while the compression ratio stays the same as the 3VZ-FE at 9.6:1. Output is 190 hp (142 kW) at 4800 rpm with 220 ft·lbf (298 Nm) of torque at 3600 rpm. It has a cast iron engine block and aluminum DOHC cylinder heads. It uses sequential multi-port fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder with bucket tappets and features large cast connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft, and a cast aluminum intake manifold. It also features an oil cooler and coil-on-plug ignition.
Applications:
* 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma
* 2000-2004 Toyota Tundra
* 1993-1998 Toyota T-100
* 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner
* 1993-2004 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
* Toyota Granvia

Well yeah, but my choices are cheeper and easier to find....
Cheaper & easier ALMOST always = not as good.

Cheaper yes, easier to find yes. But the swap is a bitch and half from what I've seen to get everything to fit.
