How much did the entire project cost you? I have $12k to burn and would love this swap. Been trying to find someone here in town that knows how to do one. I'm a hands on person, I've never done one of these swap but would love to. Got all the money set and more than enough, just haven't gotten any pointer or know anyone that does professional neat work. I can buy dozens of 2JZGTE Motors but it'll just sit there! I've read alot about the swap but it's taking the initial first step that matters. Direct me in the right place!

12k is not alot of $$ when you are doing these swaps the right way, once you start tearing it apart, The OP probably has about that much in his swap maybe even more.
The stuff adds up really quick! and bam here you go $15k.Yeah if you want you engine to look like the Op, refreshen the head and preventive maintenance and other stuff and specially if you have to pay for labor.

What a great job and pictures. How were you able to find so much clean parts? It seems like everything you have is new.
