Every v6 engine will physically swap but it's moronic. The 3mz-fe's are more costly, provide little extra power above what you have & would require replacing the entire drivetrain, along with all computer / car control wiring.

Yes it would fit it, the blocks are the same. I just threw a 3MZ into my 94 Camry. Just need to wire it up.

All mounts are the same, as the 1MZ.......
