Yep, did it with the tranny still in the car. The engine mated with the tranny with no problems. I had some help with it. Its really not that hard on this car. Just takes some creative use of swivel socket adapters and extensions.

Lol you lucky guy own a FD and a SC300. My FD is in the process of being sold can't afford the insurance on it anymore. So how close does the 1jz pull compared to a stock FD? I am yet to drive a 1jz sc300. Are you on any of the rotory fourms?

The SC feels pretty damn close to how my FD felt when I first got it. But then again, the FD was an auto and was completely stock. Now its a half-bridge with a T66 so there's not much of a comparison.

I'm on RX7Club and TeamFC3S.
