The department of fair trading can sort out the issue with the mechanic.
Why not talk to road and track？He could help sorting out the engine.

I'll build my own engines from now on. Just general machining will be outsourced. I'm still waiting for my engine to return, it will one day. But still leaning towards a v6 jump at the end of the year.

If your going V6, don't piss around with the 3VZ. The 1MZ is newer, lighter, requires the same amount of work to transplant and the 1MZ is just as cheap (you can buy a manual 1MZ Camry for $800 - 1500, R&T has one for sale right now). The 1MZ has more horsepower, more torque and you have the option of VVTi on the newer versions.
They are also pretty easy to setup with an aftermarket ECU, I've seen a couple of Adaptronic, Link and MegaSquirt ECU's.

Oh yeh my bad I misplaced the word "cheapest" with "best" engine to swap with. Obviously my heads have been in the cloud for too long  I'm gonna have to agree with Knightrous here, 1MZ>3VZ. Maybe have a chat with MRVirgin for speedy info download. It will be quite interesting up against a V6 but you won't be able to compete in the under 2L at the Wakefield MR2 Championship next year :P

From what I understand the 3vz heavier iron block can take a lot more punishment in the way of forced induction.
I chose 1mz, have the car, just getting funds together for the swap.

Jeremy LOVES V6 swaps....  MRVirgin
So it took me just under 20 hours to change the clutch
In the first test run the two forward captive nuts on the rear torque mount broke away and snapped the bolts.

This is interesting:
"The engine was built by Shane Wilson, owner of Shane Competition Engine Development in Mount Gambier, South Australia."
Mr Peter Kittle (Toyota) sounds like hes doing alright too lol

I am leaning towards the 1mz for power/weight. I have access to hoists and tools, so I wont be paying someone to install the engine. I predict it will be a challenge to say the least, that's why I will leave it until November to start. In the meantime I will save up some money (who doesnt like living on pasta for weeks on end :P) and look for a good donor car as I suspect by the time I can afford it, the one at r&t will be gone.
I would like to use my 3sge flywheel because its a balanced toda. I read somewhere about just needing to elongate the holes to fit? What does this mean? If I use the 3sge flywheel that would mean I can use the clutch I have now? (its a cushion button). The part I fear the most is wiring. I will also have to talk to my insurance company to see if they will still insure me with a v6. I only have third party anyway.
