good luck finding one, as far as i know they were in the JP-only toyota century.

did the super street article arouse your interest?

well a 2j fits in the compartment with some adjustment, and that gz looked like it was squozed into the mk4 plenty tight so id say itll fit, but with a tad more jiggling than a 2j.

if you want some more info, check wikipedia for toyota century.

haha, yes i seen it in super street. haha, and that made me almost orgasum... i came up with the idea of pretty much changing everything, by getting the ferrari conversion body kit for 5k and finding one of these motors and somehow someway, sticking it in there with the 6speed tranny...

still learning
that article also read there is basically no aftermarket support for the engine, they had to custom everything. so custom parts + $90k engine from a car only sold it japan = big hole in pocket... but if you got the money, id love to see it done

These engines are often spoken for before they even get to junkyards. If a Century crashes, Toyota knows and buys it back, or someone in Japan nabs it up pretty damn quick.
