2jz's aren't as easy to come by as they used to be, as everyone wants one, but it is possible. An engine swap isn't a cheap or easy project, though. If you've not done anything to the car yet and are on a budget, start with freeing up the horsepower you've already got, with an intake, exhaust, lightened pulleys, etc. Look at lighter wheels, stronger brakes, and more control from your suspension, too - those are all things you want before you introduce a ton more power anyway.
