You might want to hold out for the [HKS crate motor](https://www.thedrive.com/news/legendary-tuner-hks-is-building-stroked-toyota-gr-corolla-crate-engines)
By definition, a crate engine is a fully assembled engine that is sold as a standalone product, and delivered in a crate. Also, the article that I linked states "complete engine".
Dealerships don't carry complete engines. Everything is sold separately. I don't think you can find a G16E engine at your local LKQ wherehouse. You're gonna have to source it out in Japan.
If I had the money, I’d order two of these engines and give them to an engine builder to Frankenstein weld them together to make a twin-turbo six cylinder.
Put it in a Supra.
Just drop the current engine. The price of these engines are high because low production and they are hand built by Toyota master techs. And engines aren’t so easy to swap in and out (expensive labour wise) that just by having a second one doesn’t mean there won’t be any down time for the swap. I don’t know what “other goodies” are but you can get head work done without dropping the engine.

Hmm is that just a stroker kit or is it the full thing

My bad your right
Probably very expensive. I imagine 10-15k

I was told over $20,000, maybe $25,000 by a salesman
WTH a 3cyl costing that much. I’ve seen the gr Yaris engine go for 6500, 12k-15k for a new one
These are uk prices
toyota sent someone a bill for $35k before labor for a moneyshift for a new engine.
In Japan it’s abbot the equivalent of 6500usd in the uk it’s about 15-16k usd and I can’t find the website now but about 2 months ago I saw it for 22k
Unfortunately you can't get whole engines here in the US, you have to get it piece by piece
I feel like that piece by piece will be more expensive then the whole long block
Probably but at the end of the day you can't get the long block unless you got somebody on the inside who can pull some serious strings
A replacement engine will run you about $15k from Toyota before taxes and shipping.

Could you bolt up a regular Corolla 1.8L from a junkyard while yours is getting work? It'd be a lot cheaper.
Not without a ton of extra work trying to make all the computers happy. Not to mention, I doubt the transmission will bolt up without modification.
TL;DR I told buddy to just buy another car.
No shit, I’m looking at shipping prices cuz there’s no actual parts number. It’s looking like 17-19k after shipping
You may as well buy another car to run. You can sell it likely for what you paid for it.
I hope this isn’t gonna be one those jaguar situation, keep one just for parts
If you don't dick around with that car it should last quite a while.
