2GR-FE Engine for Sale: JDM Toyota Camry 3.5L V6

If you're searching for a Toyota Camry engine that won't leave you guessing about its history, the 2GR-FE is a strong pick. It's a 3.5L V6 pulled from a Japanese domestic Camry, compression-tested before it ships. This engine also shows up under names like 2GR FE engine, 2GRFE, and simply 2GR.

Engine specs

The 2GR-FE belongs to the Toyota GR engine family, used across Toyota sedans and SUVs since the early 2000s.

Dual VVT-i adjusts timing on both intake and exhaust, which helps this engine run smoother and last longer than older designs.

What this 2GR-FE fits

This motor fits the Toyota Camry and the Toyota Avalon, since both share the same engine bay for these model years. Not sure it's right for your car? Browse all JDM Toyota engines and compare before you order.

2GR-FE vs 2GR-FSE vs 2GR-FKS

The 2GR-FE uses port injection only, the version on this page. The 2gr fse adds direct injection and higher compression, mostly in Lexus models. The 2GR-FKS came later with switchable combustion cycles. If you actually need a four-cylinder, the 2az-fe is a separate engine for Camry 2.4L trims. Older Camry and Avalon V6 models used the 1mz-fe instead. Check your VIN before ordering, since none of these swap in for each other.

Condition: low mileage and compression tested

Every unit gets a compression test across all six cylinders before approval. We also check the timing chain and confirm the oil cooler line has been addressed, since that's a known weak spot on this engine. Mileage tends to run lower than comparable used engines sold domestically.

What's included

• Complete 2GR-FE long block

• Wiring harness where applicable

• Sensors attached at time of pull

• Compression test report

Doing a full swap? Pair it with a matching U660E transmission, so both come from the same source.

Known 2GR-FE issues we check for

• Oil cooler line leaks on higher-mileage units

• Water pump wear, since it's driven off the timing chain

• Ignition coil failures, cheap to fix

• Carbon buildup on direct injection variants (not a concern on this port-injected 2GR-FE)

Shipping, warranty and returns

Every engine ships with a 90-day warranty against internal failure. We ship nationwide, and buyers near Raleigh and Charlotte often pick up locally to save on freight. Returns are accepted if the engine doesn't match its description, so reach out before installing.

Yes, the 2GR-FE covers 2007 to 2017 Camry V6 trims. See our full 2GR-FE engine guide for year-specific notes.

How's the mileage on these units?
