Upgrade the motor to what?

Now that I have replaced everything but the motor I know it's only a matter of time before that goes. So I am asking for opinions, thoughts, comments, or suggestions on the future of my truck.
I know nothing of "conversions" or what is compatable with what, but when I do get a new motor (not anytime soon, but eventually) and it will NOT be a 3vz-e, what would all of you recommend? Thanks.

I think that is the same engine as the supra only with a different cam in it.

My vote is for the 3.4L only because so ny have done it and there is tons of info about it.
If you are dying to have something different, go for the supra engine.

How about the hybrid out of the new Highlander? Just kidding, you probably don't want to play guinee pig and I can't blame you. It sure would be cool to see it done though.

That'd be awesome, until five minutes later when the differentials in the axels go kaputt. That's the biggest thing I've heard about supra swaps, they make the diffs break like a ford.

btw, www.yotapower.com has a supra engined 4runner.
