I'm afraid that might be an EXTREMELY difficult fit if you could even manage to shoehorn one in, maybe with some heavy cutting and fabrication, after all, one psychopath managed to fit a Hemi and RWD tranny in a PT Cruiser... that's just 9 kinds of wrong there.

Hmm but even the 2ZZ is not a simple drop-in replacement, the TRD workshop here can do it, but it takes about a month, as they need to redo a lot of the engine bay.

There are also people working on a RWD yaris with swapped engine, somewhere around here, called Project Sideways.. that would be badass... Too bad they're not going all out crazy and putting in a 2JZ

good lord... you'd probably have to lengthen the front to fit a 2JZ... hmm, I was looking at a Passat W8 the other day though, and despite the obvious obstacles... I think the W8 engine would actually fit in the Yaris's engine bay... tight fit, but it seems like it would, now that's a scary thought... 8cyl Yaris.

+ if anyone pulls that off...

But more realistically, does Toyota actually make a good high performance V6 engine for RWD application?
