here's some of the goodies i also got:
i finished the wiring harness after hours of agony and lots water(damn Texas heat) and am now getting hoses and putting them on and hopefully today i can start and maybe get everything disconnected off the 2jz and get the motor ready to come out

well got the motor out but got covered in oil in the process forgot about the tranny fluid 
twill be sorting out all this tomorrow :
bolted up my 2j alternator on my 1j since its new. put in new thermostat as well. will replace throwout bearing as well tomorrow and hopefully get the tranny bolted to the 1j and get ready to drop her on in.
will be using lots of this to get that engine bay clean though for sure:
quick question. so will my speed sensor match up with the wires on my 1jz harness? how or what did you other guys do to solve this problem thanks

-Swap Alternators (use USDM GE)...unless your swap comes with the alternator harness which is highly unlikely.
-Use the body plug for the alternator, wrap the one on the engine harness with electrical tape and tie it out of the way
