Here's a hot tip, 1990's 2.2 manual gearbox Camry wide body front drive train (61" track, good brakes) with a 1MZ-FE 3.0 V6 (probably the non-VVi for simplicity).
I have been recently researching these and they are very small (they were designed to fit into the same hole as the 4 cylinder), very light, reliable, 200hp with some aftermarket backup (TRD supercharger 250hp) and the only reason I can figure they are untouched by guys like us is that nearly all V6 Camry's are automatic but many may not know they do bolt straight up to the 4 cylinder manual box which is actually the same box as the rare V6 manual (both Toyota 153 box). You need to buy a manual V6 flywheel from Toyota (available).
All this info is around because of the amount of people who have replaced the 4 cylinder in their Toyota MR2's with the Camry 1MZ-FE V6.
