if you want a jz motor you pretty much NEED a 2jz, the extra low end torque will help.

and no, nobody makes any conversion kits for motor swaps into the LS.

and the 1jz, which was NEVER used in the supra, produces a lot LESS torque, especially at the lower end where you need it for a heavy car, than the 2jz.

some members have messed with later model vvti mounts....but no confirmed fitment.

Either way the 1JZ with stock turbos has enough low end power for an LS. And it did come in the Supra in Japan. I had swapped a 1J into my Supra and had a final gear ratio of 3.73. Even with a couple friends in the car, it had plenty of go. Those small turbos spool up very quickly. Given I don't know the final gear ratio in the LS, I doubt it's super low since it uses a version of the A340 transmission.
