I'm surprised only one other person has mentioned the 3rz. Whats so bad about the 3rz that you guys neglect to say it? You don't have to change the timing chain like you do on the 22r(e). It has the same risk of blowing a headgasket as most engines do. It has more power than a 22re and gets better mpg. It is also pretty easy to work on. Not as much as the 22r(e) but nearly. I do think the 22r(e) is a pretty dang impressive engine, but I think the 3rz beats it.
