Default 2jz-gte swap into SC400

i know that 2jz-gte swaps are perfect drop in for the SC300 but is it the exact same for the SC400?

as far as lining up motor mounts etc

Theres a thread about it in the forced induction section. Do a search there (it is a big discussed topic). I believe you need to change the subframe, and the wiring is different. It is usually better just to start off with a 300.

so the 1jz-gte and 2jz-gte essential is almost identical as far as fitment and dimension wise?

so if the 1jz-gte fit no problem in the sc400, then that would mean the 2jz wouldn't be a problem either?

thanks

My bad, I thought I read on somewhere that the 400 subframe was different. I still believe the wiring is different though lol.
