    Default mkIII supra 1jzgte vvti motor swap questions

    i have an 88 MKIII supra with a 7mgte motor currently installed. i am about to but a 1jzgte vvti motor and im curious if the motor mounts on the 1jz are a direct swap? do i need custom motor mounts? also will the intercooler and radiator in the 7m work for the 1jz? will i need a new driveshaft as well? i am getting a new diff. the LSD i believe. i want to upgrade all of these things anyways. im just trying to see what i can get away with right away. please let me know, thanks for your help.

    i am planning on doing the work myself. i just got an internship the other day at a proformance shop. hoping to get a job there soon. but the owner says i can do all the work at the shop and use the lifts and such on the weekends. i have some car experience but most of my knowledge is in newer nissans and hondas.
