so I am in the market for a new engine for my 2000 lexus es300. I have heard that around 2002, the avalon switched to a plastic intake? Will my intake off my current 3.0 vvt-i v6 swap out? What model of cars use the engine in my 2000 es300, i fail at google search

I believe it does, but don't quote me on that. If you don't mind me asking, what happened to the engine you have?

burns oil like crazy, didn't wanna replace valve seals, and have the heads redone....engine sludge killed my engine. Whoever owned it before me, drove it 97,xxx miles between oil changes

The 1MZ-FE with VVT-i is used in the Avalon, Highlander, Sienna and Camry. Output is 210 hp (156 kW) at 5800 rpm with 222 ft·lbf (328 N·m) of torque at 4400 rpm. Early versions of the VVT-i 1MZ used a dual throttle body, cast aluminum intake manifold, and EGR block off plates on the exhaust manifolds. Later versions used an ABS plastic intake manifold to further weight reduction and decrease cost. These versions may also have drive-by-wire/electronic throttle control.

Applications:

1999–2003 Lexus RX 300 (US market)
1999–2003 Lexus ES 300
2000–2004 Toyota Avalon
2001–2003 Toyota Highlander/Kluger
2001–2003 Toyota Sienna
2002– Toyota Alphard (Japanese domestic market)
2003–2006 Toyota Camry (V6)
