Default new project 97 sc300

just got back into another sc300 and will be going under the knife soon enough.
cars clean inside and out just needs bumpers to be sprayed front and back which will be done by early next week. until then will be deciding between na-t and 1j swap. going for around 500-600hp and hoping the itch will end there. Im mainly leaning towards na-t because I plan on running it till it blows and doing a full ground up build anyways. any input would be great. Here are some teasers until out of paint.

Definitely is minus the bumpers needing some love. Clean factor of the interior made it well worth it. What would you have paid for such a unit 160k on clock auto everything inside works spotless interior.

I paid $1,800.00 for my 97SC3 w/ 140k on it. The guy had just bought a 7 Series BMW and no longer needed it

i wont say its going to stay stock but it wont be molested or daily driven. im looking for a nice weekend car with some power but anything over 500 for what im trying to do is a waste at this point.

You will get tired of the power at some time or another. I am already feeling the itch for more, but the axles are hating life now.....

na-t will do you just fine maybe with a FFIM you would like the look better and less intercooler piping.

pretty darn clean. congrats! I'd love to see an sc with your front wheels and some chorme supra TT's on the rear like on Wheel_Man's 97. maybe not the best for fitment but would be all SC-Supra-tastic.
