Contact Jose Valle @ Kaizen Motorsports -- 626.757.8540

He specialized in MKIII/IV Supras and well versed in doing 1JZ/2JZ swaps, 2JZ-GE to GTE conversions, turbo kit add-ons, etc. Great guy to work with too! Just say Club Lexus sent ya, haha. There might be a waiting list ATM though.

This is a given from a majority of the members on this forum...

Take it to a shop that only focuses on Supra/Toyota/Engine swap in general.

I highly recommend you taking it to Kaizen Motorsport.

They are currently doing my 2jz swap along with many other 1jz swaps.

They are highly specialists on Toyota only.

Call Jose and say Jowe from TWC recommended you, he is a great friend of mine and works very very verrryyy well with recommendations.

1 626 757 8540 Jose

They are located in Walnut, CA

p.s - BELIEVE me they do it the cheapest yet know the most compared to ANY other shops in CA.
