that is badazz, does the 2jz-gte fit perfect into the car, do u have to do any custom work to make the engine fit into the car. Because i was planning to get myself a 2jz-gte for my is300 manual. Also how much u spend for the engine.

lol... if you plan on using a w55 with a gte motor be prepared to have another tranny laying around cuz that one wont last long.

btw... to the guy who posted this thread... why didn't you move the abs unit? it would def help with some space issues. move the battery to the trunk and put the abs unit in the original battery location. it helps alot.

nice..

Dan, that looks like an Auto Trans....

also for people curious, only the aristo vvti GTE motor "drops" right in and bolts up using existing motor mounts..

otherwise, GTE motor's from Supra's will NOT bolt up correctly and need custom motor mounts
