I Need a 2jz swap specialist!!!
Are there any shops in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin or the Dakotas who have done the 2jz swap in the GS300 and are reputable and trustworthy? I cant find anyone!

I'm located in north metro Denver, CO. Pricing would all depend on how extensive of a swap etc. If you just want the aristo setup bolted in as is it wouldn't be too much, around $1200 to pull the old motor and install the new one. Now if you want me to replace gaskets and seals which I highly recommend and do custom single turbo, custom exhaust, etc it will go up from there. I also recommend getting a new harness like Tweakd supplies which I get a slight discount from and will pass along. I originally bought a jumper harness for mine but at least half of the connectors were broken or broke as I went to swap plugs etc. I also will have my turbo kit for sale soon that is bolt on for the jzs147 without hammering on your firewall like stock twins.

Do you own a shop Nixspeed or do you work out of your own garage? Do you think 5,500 cash would get the 2jz in with all new gaskets, belts, single turbo upgrade, custom exhaust etc? Can you get a 2jz for under 2400 for me? I would consider a road trip if all adds up

I could do custom ceramic coated single turbo kit, all new belts, gaskets on outside (main, cam, crank), with new mounts, and tune up. Turbo kit with dp will be $2500, motor and trans are about $1800, I suggest a new harness $1000 or less, intercooler and exhaust will be extra and can be done fairly cheap or expensive depending on what you want. I did my exhaust for $2500 in parts but it flows great and sounds great and looks great while being quiet. A lot of my extra money was spent on coatings and extra touches. Not needed but look and function better.
I had a shop for awhile but have been building most of my projects in my 2 car garage but I'm currently building a new house with a 2500ft2 shop. It will be done in June if all goes well. If you did want me to do it id have to wait till then as I'll be in a transitional period. It would allow you time to accumulate all the parts etc needed.
