Thank you Jeff. Same to you and it was great finally meeting you as well.

She is finally mostly done and alive. In the process of breaking in the motor and then off to the dyno again.

Here are some photos.

I had the coolant reservoir and power steering reservoir custom fabricated and the catch can from Jegs.

Well given the fact its titled as an SC400 and al of the wiring inside of the car is all different from the 300. This is an SC400 just because it is swapped with a 2JZGTE, not an SC300 (2JZGE) does not make it an SC300. Thank you

Awesome car! I would love just to hear this car run. If you ever want an audience at your next dyno session let me know (I sound like a stalker, hahaha). Best of luck.

So guys the project is finally completed and sadly but final, I have decided to sell this masterpiece. This thing is way too clean to be put back on the strip and I do not have the time to actually enjoy it. Baby #2 is on the way and closing on our new house in less than 30 days, timing could not be more perfect to let this go to a new home. I really want the new owner to appreciate this car for what it really is. Besides the $70,000+ invested into it, there are so many man hours behind this project and thank each and everyone who helped build this beauty. I just listed her on eBay. Asking $38,500 which I think its priced to sell. Let me know what you guys think!!

Wow. This car is such a top notch project thru and thru. Sorry to hear that you find the need to sell it, but you definitely have some good reasons! I'll stay in touch with you on the GS, it's coming along. Oh and congrats to you again on everything. Nice work, it is great to see all the beautiful parts from the shelf in the garage back in their home.

Great to see it completed! Thanks for sharing the pics. Turned out beautiful and is all business.

Wish you didn't have to sell, but can definitely understand the reasons why.

Congrats with your new addition to the family and house. Really hope the SC goes to a good home.
