Default my first sc400 build

whats up everyone my name is Elliot.Im new to the sc crew.I just picked up my 95 sc400 yesterday for 900.00 bucks it has 200K on it.My goal is to swap the v8 out for a 2jzgte v160 swap in it.But the plans for now is to install a set of coil overs and a nice set of 19" or 18" stagger rims on it. Heres some pics of her.

The V8 to I6 swap is fairly difficult/a hassle. If your dead set on a 2jz-gte you should probably flip that car and use the cash to buy an sc300.

A SC4 2j swap is not any different then a SC3, just a few more parts are needed and hoisting the heavy a$$ v8 is a beeeotch!
