no welding or drilling is needed. I've read that too, but I know too many people that have did there swaps without it and are still running. A stock headgasket will work also unless you do some shaving on your block or deck. I had my head ported and polished, but only because I got it done...

My brother's C5 makes 341rwhp, but it feels like about 450 with all of his torque. He's pretty much my bitch though..............hopefully he won't read this.

should something happen to it...........:biglaugh: You crack me up Mike, you know their isn't anything going to happen to a 1jz bottom end....:icon_bigg www.driftmotion.com imports engines and has anything else for a 1jz swap that you'll need.

Thanks guys. John, the istructions helped, but it was very very hard to degree them with them reversed. That's why I was having such a huge problem. Once they were swapped, it was easy and all the instructions made perfect sense. Thanks for the help. I'm really hoping to get everything...

Here's hoping for something simple to fix..............:drink1:

You'll need a turbo upgrade for 500, and cams wouldn't hurt either. You may can get 500rwhp on an safc, but a Stinger would help you out a lot. Ask me how I know.

:yelrotflm:yelrotflm:yelrotflm:yelrotflm She is a big puppy, and I love her color. Are they good tempered dogs? Laid back or high strung? Logan looks relatively calm, but I'm pretty sure Supramania woud be minus one Suprahero, if I was to try and harm DT..........well that is if DT didnt'...

I'd probably rock a set of them Nick. As someone said, they may look good color matched also. I have the technology and know how to spray mine to find out. I also have some gorgeous blue paint.

Thanks Cade, but I've already checked them and they look fine. At least they do from the outside. They look brand new. I finally got the cams degreed today with some help from Brian. It was very easy to do once I got the exhaust cam on the exhaust side and the intake cam on the intake...

I'm going to give it one more try. Brian (slow66) just called me and is going to hold my hand through the procedure..........:biglaugh: I also got some private messaging help from jdub, so I should be good to go. If not, I'm installing them straight up and calling it a day. I would have had...

If you get it painted, it won't be so unique.........especially if you paint it that dang'd red color.........:biglaugh:

Well, I couldnt figure out how to degree the dam'd cams. I watched the video six or seven times, and he's missing something. He shows himself turning the wheel about a half a turn, and then it shows he's only turned it seven degrees which is bs. Everytime I tried it, I had to turn my wheel...

I've had better...........:biglaugh:

I'm not down at all Miguel, but I am kinda leary. I don't know how to degree these cams, but it's got to be done. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out. I mean after all, as far as hillbillies go, I'm a freaking genius..........:biglaugh:

George has two beautiful supras.............:love:

to the tenth power. It's like a girl on girl free for all with the sweedish swimsuit team..........:naughty: Miguel, I didn't really write the apology. I paid someone to write it for me and then kinda adlib'd the last part.......:biglaugh:

The time started over when I took the engine out for the second time, so it has only been two months. I hope to get the engine installed today, but I am at the mercy of my helping hand Ricky. If he decides to not show up, then all I can do is twiddle my thumbs. I don't have a concrete driveway...

How do you know your one piece ds is going to work, unless you know someone that's did this swap already, and got the measurements for you? Hopefully it will work, because they aren't cheap.

You can get the rebuild kit for your car from IPT, but they're expensive. I just bought one for Vonda's car and it was $612.00, plus another six hundred dollars for them to rebuild the valve body, and another four hundred dollars for the transmission place to rebuild it. When it's done though...

The 1jz uses the same manual transmission as the 7mgte. They both use the R154. The only site I go to very often is this one. There's also www.supraforums.com but the people over there get on my nerves pretty regularly, unlike here where the people are a little more cool. You said you were...
