more info please.

What you ask is more complicated than you think. The cheapest way would probably be to rebuild your current engine, but without info, we can't tell if its cheaper to rebuild, or to simply buy another 22re. You could also buy a V6, but unless you get it used, it will probably be more expensive than the previous option, and will require modification. And putting in a newer toyota V6 will require more modification and be more expensive. But as in most cases, bigger is better.
