Possible Engine swap?

Solaras' are really not worth the money, effort, and time to swap the engine with a smallblock. They're good cars but if you're trying to sell it one day, you might as well say goodbye to your money because there really isn't any market for solaras nowadays.

My advice: do small upgrades to the car over a long period of time or sell it and buy a better tuner.
I'm guessing you' haven't done anything to your car considering your topic about short rams so I would think more carefully about upgrades to your solara. Air intake system, and exhaust would be my choice of first upgrades.

the only engine swap that would be beneficial upgrade from the 1MZ or 3MZ would be a 2GR. MR2 guys are doing it like crazy!
