Late supra/soarer cross member?

ummm... youll need a spare set of alloy engine brackets too then... coz if you're moving the 1JZ and not including those with it you might have a very peeved off customer. so youll need a spare set to bolt to the 2JZ in order to seat it on JZA70 mounts.

For me, I am going to buy an aristo cut. They are increadibly cheap I saw one on ebay not soo long ago for $2700! Then buy an R154, JZ bellhousing and flywheel.

R154 + JZ Bellhousing & Flywheel expect another 2K on top of your aristo halfcut at least.

For a little bit less you should be able to pick up a factory manual 5 speed JZA80 halfcut. ($4200ish)

buy the aristo 2J and a JZA70 1J.

swap sump (and mounts it they cross over)

then sell the 1JZ with front sump as a chaser package, front sumps are the most sought after type, and you wont have any trouble selling it.

from there, you should have a 2J ready to go in, your cross member looks compatible to me.

it'll take you 6-7 months if you dont have any major issues.

people on here with issues have taken from 12-18 months.

oh, and Aristo cuts ae starting to get more expensive, as importers are starting to cut up cars because there arent enough wrecks/halfcuts around anymore.

so anything you do, id do it sooner rather than later.

aristo cut ~$3500.

obviously you can find cheaper, and more expensive, but this is the regular price at www.wcimports.com.au

6-7 months to do what?

the conversion?

you smoking from the crack pipe again?

you really dont like 2JZ's do you...but then again when you had 7M's you hated 1JZ's

must be a superior motor syndrome or something...

[Draven]

awsome! I thought the rear would be more sought after.

also ,the MA61 boys LOVE teh front sump... you will never have trouble selling one (and, to be honest, you should try a swap + cash adjustment of $50 or something)

6-7 months is the time for a me conversion, whereby I ignore it for months on end. only the laziest, most busy or crappest of people will take 7 months to do a conversion.
We even managed to get a fair chunk of Joorsh's supra conversion done in one night while drunk, including a break for pizza and more beer.

PS: never do a conversion where me, ed, and stitt are exposed to beer. Joorsh doesn't drink beer, so you can ask him.
