Wow!!
This project is coming along so quickly I cant even catch up.
In the first page you said that you used the 2JZGTE's engine mounts, did you have to redrill anything or was it a direct fit?

REALLY nice job!
How did you swap the diff. Did you use the LS cover and rear mounting point (does it have one?). What are the dimensions on the front "spacers" that you welded in? Did you fit them by pinion angle or just stock position?
Would this swap readily accept a manual tranny? I assume so.
How did the car feel after the diff. swap?
Thanks!

2. The spacer is 1 inches but washer was add to adjust the height.
3. Stock position.
Hmm........pinion angle. I haven't thought about that. I think that will be a correct way to do it.
4. It should.
5. The problem is car still bog during high boost though.
. I have to call the guy who did the wiring to see what went wrong. 
As soon as I get the problem fix then I will find out how it feel.

Here is some info I found on pinion angle stuff on a late model Mustang. Good info at end of document for all cars.

I bought a 95 Cobra that has an 03 IRS conversion with some vibration around 80 mph. I am going to check this and driveshaft.
Good luck on the bog!

Thank, for the info about the pinion angle it was very helpful.
Cusco Strut Bar install today. Need some grinding and bending though.
After in stall boost guage today I just find out that engine "bog" due to over boost causing by faulty wastegate. The boost went up to 1.2 bar b4 the ECU cut the fuel and cause the engine to loose power.

I read from Jap magazine "Option 2" that older version of twin turbo 1JZ-GTE can up boost to 1.4 bar and produce 400HP with sotck internal. 
I didn't know about that until I purchase the engine.
I wish I go for older 1JZ or 2JZ instead.
