It is always a hit and miss getting a swap so getting it from reliable sources you can trust is very important.

It takes a lot of trust to order an engine from a distributor without seeing it in my opinion.....personally for me I would not trust those people at all.....
When I went to get my GTE I was able to pick from the 20 or so engine they had......spending upwards of $2500 on an engine I needed reassurance of the purchase

I have mated the v160 6 speed to the cleaned-up 2jzgte vvti . I will work on the harness in the next week or so , so that I can install the stock 2jzgte 6speed drive train on the 1 of 120 1997 SC300 5speed, Will get it running , be able to use it while I save for the Real Street Performance 3.4 stroker engine , built head and other bolt in accessories. Rare enough to have a 1 of 120 , better still with a 2jzgte & v160 6 speed .... but will really be a rare breed once it gets the stroker VVTi 3.4L & v160 6 speed drive train. That Real Street Performance 3.4 stroker had made in excess of 1600rwhp on a TH400 which should probably be at +1700rwhp on a 6 speed v160. So with the right parts / accessories bolted with said stroker / built long block , I am looking at a +1500rwhp SC300 .... 1 of 120 ... once it is all said and done.
Not unless one of the people to whom I mentioned another running 1 of the 120 97 SC300 5 speed being for sale for a very low price , gets it ... I am picking up another 1 of 120 1997 sc300 5 speed. The owner simply do not know what he has. I have talked to the guy this morning and it is still available so I have decided to give him a $1000 deposit for it . Not unless one of my buddies want it and get it, it will head towards my place. Never bought anything on any Black Friday sale so another original 1997 sc300 5 speed would be a good pickup . He wants a little less than $4k which is a damn steal after you have considered the after market parts that are on the car right now like pricey wheels (classic 18" CCW .. tires are shot though), etc. After you have sold those wheels, the original 5 speed swap and other stuff, you basically have a free 1 of 120 97 SC300 5 speed shell with good black interior . Then swap a 1jzgte / R154 OR a 2jzgte / V160 6 speed if you can. Your cost will only be the actual swap parts and labor since the shell is free. IF you do it yourself , no labor costs. When you are tired of it, surely you will get back your money and more since it is a rare 1 of 120 1997 SC300 5 speed and was free .

Thanks Dmitry ! Can't wait to get Black Pearl running even if it is stock 2jzgte VVti 6speed V160 to start with. Then my lovely wife wouldn't say I have a junk car in one of our places. She hates seeing non running cars but she doesn't mind me having 12 vehicles (not even counting hers) .. hahaha .. as long as they are all running .

so are you moving out of GA ? You tired of that 5 speed SC ?
btw , am dropping the engine tomorrow on the black pearl ! And eventually , I will install the AC look a like kit but made of poly-urethane on the Black Pearl and one of the Red Mamba. Now I can lower them a bit without worrying much about breaking a kit. I am glad, I haven't grabbed yet any of the Shine Kit.

It might take a while before I can get the realstreetperformance stroker after all , I will have to stop going into fine dining for a while so I can save for it ...
It has been in my place for more than a year without an engine and my lovely wife thinks it is a junk car . She has no idea how rare this 1 of 120 is and wants me to get a towing company take it out .
