I hate to bring it up again, but the 92-96 v6 Camry engine has to be looked into if you are thinking about a supercharger. We know you can get a TRD supercharger for this engine.

I know everyone says "Its not a truck engine. It is transverse mount. It'll never work...." but has anyone really tried? even looked hard at the swap?

The engine I'm talking about is the 3vz-fe. Check it out. 3 = revision number, VZ = engine design code, F = 2 cams/bank and E = Fuel injected. Toyota doesn't get real creative with the numbers. So what is it? It is our 3vz-e with 4 cams (and 4 valves/cyl). Lots of car/truck engines swap, right 22RE folks? Who says this engine can't work? What about taking just the heads and the intake? Now, the TRD supercharger kit should bolt right up?

Check out this months import car racer magazine. they put a v6 into an MR2. They considered the 3vze and 3vzfe, but it weighs 50 pounds more than the newer v6 engines (ours has a cast iron deck)
Somebody explain to me why the 3vz-fe can't work.

I have a spare 3VZ-E engine we can take apart and see if the heads/intake bolt up. I'm willing to TRY if no one can find a reason it WON'T work.
