Toyota make a few all alloy blocks, I'm assuming you mean something with a little bit of size as you suggested the V6 and 1UZFE.
There are always the Nissan VQ series of V6's, the new ones like in the 350Z. They also make the VH (?) series of 4.1l V8 and 4.5l V8, but from most accounts these aren't built to the same standard as a 1UZFE....actually, not much is 
|
I think the Nissan V8s powering the Infiniti are actually termed VG45DE...The early ones are simply not worth it, as the engine runs a timing chain with a plastic  timing chain tensioner which, on higher mileage units, has been known to let go, with predictably catastrophic results...

Also the V series V8s. All alloy, OHV V8 (like a small Hemi V8). 2.6 thru to 3.9 litre capacity.
|
Like all OHV engines, they aren't really worth it without throwing major $$ at them. For example, I think the 3.9lt's power output stock is around 125KW...
