As for out cressida friend Smile

Norbie pointed out the major question, what do you want!

I would suggest you avoid a 5M-E at all cost, it is not a performance motor.

As good as 1JZ/2JZ's are I suspect you will have trouble fitting one without converting to rack and pinion (generally a costly experience), a NA 2JZ-GE would be a very good option tho!

If you want to go a little cheaper a 5M-GE (2.8L twin cam 6cly) or 6M-GE (3L twin cam 6cly) are good options and bolt in with the existing engine mounts, but both are getting harder to find in good condition these days as they are getting older. A 7M-GE (3L twin cam) is also an option but have know head gasket issues (nothing that cannot be fixed).

7M-GTE is also an option, and I think an all alloy V8 1UZ-FE would also be very nice Smile

Bear in mind that you will need to tackle a few things to convert to EFI such as fuel pump, surge tank etc.

As you can see the world is very much you oyster, and to make you feel even better I believe that MX32 cressida's were the lightest toyota to come from the factory with a 6cyl engine, meaning that it should go well with an engine upgrade Smile

Cheers
Wilbo
