5VZ 3.4L DOHC would be a good motor, apart from the early ones having headgasket problems, (arp's FTW) the only real restriction in the motor is the cams, and I think there are solutions for that now. Plus there are 2wd toyota trans that bolt up to the S/VZ series that came in the 2wd 3vz trucks. 5vz was designed for boost from the factory, and plenty of parts laying around. The manifolds can be flipped like a 5.0 for easy turbo setup too.
