Im in the market for an aristo swap, but have no idea where to get it from. Im trying to stay away from being a victim of the horror stories. If you guys can help tell me where and how your experience with this company went.

They sell great motors.

Try to find a CL member selling one locally. If not that, find somewhere that offers a warrenty.

supra forums say tiger is crap. It seems hard to find one locally. Everyone recommends to get a motor set within the states, unless you can go and see the motor yourself.

Yeah ive already spent about 1.5k in parts so theres no turning back. Venus is out of the 2jzgte engines. MAn it would be great to have someone with your knowledge and expertise in doing the swap. If you can help out with getting the enigne swap that would be awsome.

dunno if it will help you but
jdmofmiami.com
osakajdmmotors.com
I've dealt with both a bunch and have had no serious problems. Osaka forgot to send me a Maf once but promptly sent me one. JDM of Miami has some of the cleanest motors I've ever seen.
Both are very reasonably priced.

Wait for something to show up at JHOT.....its worth the wait.

99% of the other places sell junk.
