Default Rx 2JZ swap

So I'm in the market for an older Lexus, and currently looking at second gen RXs for a daily. I would like to get more power out of it for a sleeper and was wondering if it is possible to 2JZ swap it or is there a better option out there?

No point, it would be hell fitting the heavy and large 2J into the RX's small transverse engine Camry-sized bay. I'd just get a 2007-2009 RX350 and feed it some boost and you'll be over 400 in no time without having to open up anything. Check out Frankenstein Motorworks and the MR2 community for how to get power out of the 2GR-FE motor.

Sweet. Sounds good to me (and my wallet.) I will look into it. Thank you!
