why na? If your taking the time to do the swap you might as well use a turbo motor and leave it stock. A lot better imo

glad you got her back it would suck if the car went in to the wrong hands.
if left there it probably would have been sold to a junk yard and ultimately been crushed

okay, okay!! lol!! pics today when i get home.

i charged the battery yesterday and it still turns over and runs. but it sounds like a blacksmiths shop, every revolution is a loud clank!!

i have given it thought. screw 2J NA swap!! if i am gonna do it, it might as well be 2JZGTE because i will be almost the same to wire it in.
and will have no regrets about wishing i went turbo. like it was last time.

okay here are a few quick pics.

the motor was a JDM 7MGE, it has an R154 manual swap (was auto), with SOGI mod, Marlin Crawler bushings, and Transformers Autobots shift knob:icon_evil, Driftmotion clutch line!! Megan Racing strut bar, custom painted valve covers, aftermarket headers w/DP, AEM intake w/K&N filter, custom exhaust with dual turn-up tips, and new Hankook tires.

needs paint and a new interior IMO. oh, and a 2JZGTE transplant:evil2:

Mike......Congrats! The guy came in the dealership the other day and I noticed it was your car, and I was like..."WTF"?

Call me if you need any parts for the swap, I'll see what we can do. :)

BTW - I may know someone possibly willing to sell a 2JZGE w/ w58 and sc300 bellhousing to mate it all.

Anyway....you know you couldn't stay away!!!
