Unfortunately, a v6 swap will never be a direct fit. These v6 swaps are more of a challenge. All the proper equipment from the donated car including a suitable or modified transmission is needed for a successful swap. These swaps requires a lot of customization including customed motor mounts, suspension, electronics/ECU, custumed high proformance axles, shifter, fuel system, cooling system, A/C/power steering, intake/exhaust, suspension/brakes, and tires.

These motors can be found from a 3rd/4th/5th/6th/7th and 8th Gen Toyota Camry. The swap has been done to many Toyota Corollas, Celicas, Tercels, Scions, and Yaris. Some Corolla models may need a custom hood.

Aftermarket for these v6 engines is quite large. With a forged piston kit/FI mods, these motors can handle up to 270PS (400PS with the 2GR Series). Turbo or supercharged applications may require upgraded injectors, upgraded ECU, a blot on or customed built manfold, fuel pump, and boost controller. Every motor and transmission has a weakness. It is very important to address your motor and transmission for weaknesses before modifying them. 

Many custom parts can be found via importperformanceparts, M- Force, HKS Superchargers, D3performance, driveshaftshop, gatorracingaxles, Frankensteinmotorworks, Monkeywrenchracing, turbokits, car-part, or maxpeedrods. Prices can be compared and bought. Rotrex and Eaton has a custom series of superchargers for these v6 engines.
