Default Anyone know where to get a Camry Solara engine?

A friend of mine blew his engine on his manual 4-cylinder '99 Solara. He got quoted $1700, so he's lookin' to see if he can find a better deal. I just thought I'd give it a shot here since technically most of us are driving Toyotas.

Yeah, I already suggested an engine swap or goin' FI, but he's not really into modding it because he's planning on replacing it with an FX35 in the future.

a 3S-GTE swap into any Camry chassis is not easy. You can start off with the big items like custom engine mounts and the dreaded wiring harness.
