Looks cool...what type of cooling fans do you plan to have in place? Doesn't look like you have enough room...and maybe need some sort of custom fan shroud.

Another stupid question: are you planning on running AC? I noticed that the factory condenser is still in place along with the dual fans.

I ran into some cooling issues with my Z32 because the air had to travel from the intercooler through the condenser then finally to the radiator.

Well I am keeping the a/c. And on the cooling I am going with duel 14" Mizu fans. 1200cc each. Also installed a trd thermostat. O and we are wiring the fans to the aem ems to control it. I hop the intercooler doesn't get in the way of the air flow. As u can see in the picture the radiator sits higher then the intercooler. And the ls has a big grill.

Doh! Yea I got it backwards. Still well worth it with how easy the 2JZ makes power. You get 70 off the bat with no mods. With the stock twins you would have massive grunt down low with BPU mods.

Such a shame........1 UZ is a superior motor but doesn't get the aftermarket love the 2J gets. +1 for this swap though. I got a 240sx project coming up. It shall breathe Lexus V8 fire.
