Anything multipin is going to cost, I think Amphenol are about the most affordable.
It's NOT just the cost of the connector and pins, you need to factor in the tooling to crimp them correctly, Deutsche use a $500+ crimper..
Heat was a huge issue even with all the shielding... :(
Would never go Turbo again, a Blower on the other hand like the one Random used in his currect build ;)
(back when I did the LS swap into the Supra we did discuss going blown but as I had the brand new T04z there....)
I pulled all the info down after crashing the car sorry..
It's a pretty easy swap and has so much more potential than an UZ swap (A bud here has an SC400 with a blower so I'm able to make a valid comparison)
Why do you think/feel a UZ is the way to go?
An LS will be 2 litres bigger capacity, not much heavier at all, it's narrower and only 50mm/2" longer, it's also been done a few times, I had mine in the Mk3 with a T04z and even at 3psi it was a weapon.

Your narrow minded SF attitude is showing...
NOTHING wrong with an LS swap if it's done right.. thought we were past this sort of bullshit..
Sport roof cars have a lot of additional bracing in the chassis, cutting the roof off a hardtop would result in a wet noodle, bad enough with a factory car and the roof off..
You may also need to use a sharp scraper or a sticker remover to shave down the timing case gasket if it's sticking up as this WILL cause a leak if left..
Personal preference re: RTV is all well and good if you have a clue, if not follow what the TRSM is telling you..
If you do the Gasket needs to be replaced, the head needs to be checked for straightness and then flatness (2 very different things) then you need to punch your Bud in the head and NEVER let him work on your engine unsupervised again...maybe get someone to whack you in the nuts as well...
