Why don't i see anyone building up the 1JZ or 2JZ with a Toyota auto? Every time i see a fast MIII/MKIV, it is running a TH350/TH400 or a glide. Is there some inherent defect in the Toyota trannys that prevent them from being built?

It is cheaper to buy a built turbo 350/400, torque converter, select the stall you want and get a custom drive shaft than it is to buy a built toyota auto. IIRC its right around $2500 to do a chevy 3 speed auto.

500 for DS, 1k for tranny, 1k for TC and the AP.

Ill be headed towards a turbo 350 once I get my single and a few other things.
