nice snag...have fun and good luck with the sale. As paco mentioned there are pluses and minuses.

The worst case is you swap a 5spd in later

Nice SC, but it sounds like you only got it for the 1jz? Can't those swaps be had for like $1k all day on ebay? If so, then I can't justify buying a whole car just for an engine...

put the 1jz into the green one, part the white one to make your 1500 bucks back.
pretty simple to me.

Well it looks like the 1JZ is gonna be fun. Just make sure it runs correctly before you do any crazy #$%# to it. It deserves a good home, and you need to take care of it lol. Im sure it will be bad ***. I gotta say tho...along with the other guys, put the rims on it and WTF is in the garage!!
