Default buying a 1jz gte

I'm looking to buy a soarer 1jz engine. I'm not sure how difficult it is to find one, but I have only been able to find the chaser engines.

I know their the same engine, only difference is the oil pan sump. But I also thought there are some wiring differences. So, in order to have the swap go as smooth as possible.

Do any of you have any recommendations where I can find a Soarer 1jz?
Or if any advice on the main differences of swapping a chaser 1jz instead of a soarer 1jz. As far as I know the soarer's engine main modification is extending the harness.

Any advice is appreciated

There are a lot of good places to get one. Just do a search and you should come up with Jarco, Jhot, and a few others. Jazz pro parts has them too. http://www.jazzproparts.com/product_p/1jzgtte.htm Kind of expensive but you get the idea.

here's my advice. be patient. jhot gets them but there is a line so. ask them to get in line and wait it will be worth it.

I have never done business with these guys but Im looking to do so in the near future once I get more funds. If anyone here recognizes these people or have an opinion please let SC community know, yay or nay.

Thanks
Tom

I got mine from Jhot, well worth the wait. It was a little cheaper than most importers and came with alot of extra stuff I thought I needed the front clip to get.
