I was also thinking the same thing. I can live with the front, but the rear is ugly.

3VZ-FE, Ralph.

Alllllllll of this. Yes. Just BE SURE to mark the AFM where it was as a "baseline" before you go tinker with it and forget where you started.

Spark plugs are easier if you remove the top engine mount and rock the engine forward. Still no walk in the park though.

The 3VZ is fine on stock cams. It's better at making LOADS of torque. Not so much horsepower.

This is a 3VZ-FE, not a 1MZ-FE.

One of the vehicles never had a title and I wasn't given any trouble with it. Odd.

It's legal in Virginia. So long as you stay off of the interstates.
