If we're talking about any size of engine, then I would have to say that the 2GR-FSE out of the IS350 is probably the best n/a engine built by Toyota, the power they make is pretty impressive....
If we're talking 4-cylinders only, then yeah, I'd probably opt for a blacktop BEAMS if I had my choice. Seems like with a standalone and some good mods it would be able to push out some good power.
I realize this part of the discussion is over, but I found this a little bit funny:

What engine/engine configuration would be the most efficient swap for a 7A then? By efficient I mean most HP and good gas mileage. Would it be a straight 20v swap, or would that even be necessary? Would a 7AGE be a better configuration? Or would adding turbo to a 7A be the best of both worlds, (theoretically) only blowing your gas mileage when booooooosting {to get laid}?
Something tells me that you don't have any problems getting laid

Anyways a 20v blacktop would be my first recommendation, it's simple, clean, gets good mileage, and makes great power.
