Where to get a 5vzfe?
I've been looking at this swap for about a year, but I guess the thing that stops me from moving forward is where in the heck can I get the engine. I've never bought just an engine before so I'm completely out of the loop on how/where to get it.

Well depending on where you live.
You can either buy a whole donor rig and swap it in. or you can find them from junkyards.
I got mine out of a 99 tacoma that i found on craigslist, drove out to the guys house, pulled the motor and $800 later, the motor was at my house.

I was looking around, what about the 1mzfe engine? Seems like a viable option. 3.0L with a possible supercharger add on and I believe it may be aluminum block. Less weight and it puts out between 160-190hp roughly and it looks like it's got a good power band. That is pretty comparable to the 3.4 5vzfe, but lighter.
