Don't say "yours" because you have it and can't find something,
But available engines and the reason.
I will start with the Toyota 1GR-FE 4.0L in the Tacoma. Supercharger and exhaust and that is about it. 4.0L with 236 hp and less that great fuel economy is really asking for some help.
VQ40DE (Frontier/Pathfinder/xTerra motor), came with 6 speed and 2 or 4wd options, should drop in just about anything that a VQ30/VG30/VG33/VQ35 should (deck height is a little taller) and they're DIRT cheap.
(Same wavelength) Nissan/Infiniti VQ35/VQ37. They've made a metric ton of these all-aluminum V6s in all manner of FWD/AWD/RWD applications and power levels.

There's turbo kits.
And they make obscene power. That motor is ridiculous.
1.6 and 1.8L out of the mazda miata??? 
Prius
Im going to say the IS-F. No one will hardly touch that engine and it is oh so glorious. But no tuning!

Huh?
You don't consider stroker kits, cams, headers, turbo and supercharger kits as "not much aftermarket" do you?
Aren't late model toyota/lexus engines in general under represented? I really can't think of anything after the 3.0L straight 6 in the Lexus and the 2ZZ that has any real tuning support.
My Honda 1.3L, because... oh wait. d'oh.
When I had a 3.4L GM car, I was surprised that an engine around that long (1982-2009ish) seemed to have no performance aftermarket support. There are a ton of them, they're reliable, and they sound good.
Nissan LEAF.
Seriously. It's artificially torque limited, but quick when it lets you have all of the torque. It seems relatively simply to alter that curve a bit. At least until stuff breaks.

By 3.0 straight 6 do you mean the 2JZ, one of the most tuned engines on the planet behind the small block Chevy? And the 2zz has an entire company based around tuning it, Monkey Wrench Racing.
I will say I think the 1UZ series needs more aftermarket attention. Yes, it's out there, but what's there requires a pretty high technical knowledge to make sense of what you need and how to install it. That's an engine you can get for peanuts in any major city that makes good power and is very compact and light. Perfect aftermarket swap opportunity. But still doing a manual swap or souping up the power requires a ton of know-how versus, say, a Chevy. Or 2JZ.
Multi air? Maybe sky-active too.
Dculberson, I meant after those engines were retired. I know both of those have huge aftermarkets but name one engine after those that has any aftermarket at all. I don't count the motor in the Toyobaru as a toyota.
I think almost every engine has "some" aftermarket. It's just the price that keeps "us" away. (ie: Toyota 1UZ and Audi ABH)
In theory every engine at least has an aftermarket ECU (megasquirt) and subsequently a turbo option (you just have to pay to have a turbo manifold welded up from the flanges you had your local machinist make from the gaskets you brought him/her, buy the turbo, run all the plumbing, intercooler, larger injectors, etc etc etc...) 
The 3.4L v8 from the 96-99 sho...... lightweight mill(lighter than an lsx) that has next to nil aftermarket support. Kinda sucks too, because those things should rev with an aftermarket set of cams and a ITB intake manifold and make close to 300whp while making a glorious exhaust note.

Ahh, yes! sorry, I mis-read the post. Now I understand.

I don't think Megasquirt can control the LEAF, and a turbocharger won't help at all!

The 2AZ/2AR motors have aftermarket. And make gobs of power.

WHHHHAAAAAAAATT?!?!??!?!
In reply to Swank Force One:
Well the wood is just a isolating spacer. I am more interested in why the blurred out the little rectangle on the front.
That wasn't towards the "wood" comment. That was just... i can't brain around the idea that someone did that, and how much power it made.
Yeah whats going on in the blurred section?.
Cool,I see drysump so I'm thinking hardcore hillclimber/rockcrawler powerplant or something?.
