Swap

Moderator
I wondered what a 2jz motor was (as I am sure others also wondered) and found that it is an inline 6 cylinder engine. I doubt an inline 6 would fit or be adaptable to fit into the ES and mate to a transmission. I would think a few simple measurements could help resolve this issue. I also wonder why anyone would want to do this swap?

Ya it all depends on what you mean by "fit".
If you mean, mostly bolt in and work using shelf parts, then no, that engine certainly would not fit. Your car is front wheel drive and the 2jz has never been used outside of a rear wheel drive configuration as far as I know.
Its also about bout a mile long so dimensionally it just wouldn't work well in FWD.
Now, if by fit you mean, make it work using money and skill then I'm sure it could be done. You could convert your car to rear wheel drive for many thousands of dollars.
The fact that you have to ask tells me that you aren't a skilled fabricator so you'll be paying someone to do it for you. I'd guess somewhere between $35-$50k for parts and labor.
If if you want a car with a 2jz buy an is300.
