I actually looked at some of those. Even the 2.0l LTG. They were so prone to oil consumption and timing chain failures that it wasn't feasible. I'm building it to enjoy not work on or worry about catastrophic failure. The 1UZ-FE from a Lexus sc400 was another option but having to make periodic valve adjustments just didn't sound like any fun either. The SR20DET is another option that still rattles around in the back of my mind.

Any other suggestions?
