if you want to do it you pretty much need the whole car. you need the gas tnak with fuel lines, ecu, steering(youre gonna have to cut a hole in the firewall) unless you wanna weld up the crossmember, the good thing is that everything bolts up (tank,motor,tranny[which is the same], suspension upgrades and crossmember. if you really wanta fast drift car or something build up the 3T you already have. or if you want dual cams finmd yourself a 2TG head(thast what im doing) even though they are really rare. your car is an SR5 is ita hardtop(no b-pillar trunk) sports ocupe(b-pillar hatch) or liftback(no b-pillar hatch)

the stock engine is a pushrod 1.8 in jpapn the 2TG is the same block with a DOHC head on it (which is a direct bolt on to the pushrod block)with some mods[cam bearings turned, new 22R chain, 2TG timing cover]) the 4AGE is a rpelacemnt for the 2TG and 3TGTE
