Is that a JIC front bumper? Where did you get it and how much did it run? As for the 1jz, I ordered a 5 speed front clip that should be here soon. Since I have everything I dont think it woul dbe much of a problem. I'd recommend selling your swap and getting a clip for around 2000-2500

there is a guy on the board named gotTRD that has transplanted a 1JZ-GTE into a SC3... you should try to talk to him about the swap.

your car looks great btw-
