I just need to figure out shipping and should have it ordered by thanksgiving if I can find a place to store it. Would put it in the backyard but there is a fence in the way and doubt my parents will let me use the garage just to store a front clip. Might have to ask my buddy since his parents go on vacation months at a time.
Another thing the 7mgte can be made to be a monster if it is built properly. Yes it eats head gaskets but there are ways around that. The 1jz is nice because it drops in almost. The 2jz requires more fab because the rear turbo will NOT clear the wheel well unless you do some shaving or convert to single right away. Another thing that sucks about the 1jz is the r154 (i think that the code) trans isnt the strongest thing in the world compared to the v160. At first wanted to get the v160 then I saw the 3-4g pricetag and said fuck it. Either way the 5 speed is geared about the same as the 6.
When I get the motor only thing I am not looking forward to is wiring for the 1jz swap. Extending + finding out how to wire up Fuse box and AC FTMFW. Also I need to repaint the son of a bitch. If I only had a compressor at home that could hold a constant pressure ahh well. Things to do! It sucks lol just thinking about it.
