Default Magazine Article About First Gen GS (engine swap)

Hey guys, I thought I would let you guys know that this months Sport Compact car Magazine has an entire article dedicated to the First Gen GS, and all the steps and parts needed to swap in the 1JZ-GTE from the Chaser. Evidently the JZX100 Chasers were single turbo 1JZ's from the factory, and fit in the GS engine bay with no firewall modification needed! They also swapped in th stronger and better shifting Chaser 5 Speed Automatic. I will try to scan it sometime, but if there are any of you guys looking to do a swap, you should check this out.

Picked it up today! Only $5,000 worth of parts and it tells you how to do the rest. The 94-99 Cadillac Deville upper radiator hose had me going for a sec.
