Try this site, it has sections on transplants and other mods, personally if your going the GMH V6, you should consider a Lexus 1UZ transplant, heaps more grunt and about the same cost, plus it keeps the runne all toyo

word of advice, the 3vze is a thirsty underpowered motor, Mine still runs the 3vze and I am honestly waiting for it to die so I can put a 1uz or a prado engine in there

Secondly trying to find a good 2nd hand 3vze with the complete wiring harness and and all the other bits and pieces (ecu, air box, radiator, and the rest)is going to be really hard, plus the fact it probably wont marry up to your gearbox.

just another challenge, as most 3vze engines are between 15 - 19 years old most of the ecu's that are aound will have to be rebuilt as well.

As far a sI know there is no enginr mount kit to do what you want to do, you will have to gut and reweld the new engine blocks to your chasiss and then get it engineered.
