i'm a die-hard toyota fan, but the J32A2 (3.2L 260hp) and J35A3 (3.5L 240hp) can hold their own when in contact with the early 1UZ-FE (4.0L 256hp in 1989), however the later model 1UZ-FE (290hp in 1997) ran circles around the honda powerplants.
Not sure if many knew, but the revised 1UZ-FE was voted onto the "ward 10 best engines award" list from 1998-2000
