Default my 240Z + 2JZ swap project

well, i don't have anything cool to show you guys yet, but heres some pictures of the 240z that im in the process of putting a 2JZ into. the engine isn't quite ready to drop in yet, but heres the car:



heres the L24 that im going to remove. its actually completely freshened up top to bottom, but i just wanted more. you guys know how it goes.



and for reference, heres how the car runs now-

and some recent engine pics:

the engine i bought from a member here on clublexus, "ummagawd" good guy

anyway, this is what i started with. 65k mile MKIV NA engine that was a "little" dusty. already had 3mm HG, arp studs, titan cam gears, greddy timing belt, and oil feed/drain lines done.



after a little cleanup work, pops helpin' out



and then now with a few parts. TT valve covers, cam belt cover, and turbo and intake manifold.







thats it for now
