There are no stock Toyota 6 cylinders that make 400hp, but 2JZ-GTE is easily modified to do that. However you want low end torque, so your best bet would be Toyota FZ engine - a 4.5L inline 6 thats pretty much bulletproof, with tons of low end torque, and a lot of untapped potential once you start beefing it up.

Ok cool now I forgot to mention a key factor, it has to be naturally aspirated. Is it posible just by making internal mods, I.E. Cam and such to get 450HP with out a charger?
