I'd say a paper-mache volcano, but for some reason you didnt have that as one of your project options?

Why dont you do a 1UZ + R514??!

I have 2 R154 just sitting in my garage with the 1jzgte bellhousings, that is why im saying R154. V160 is too expensive and hard to come by.

I already did option 3 but used a w58 and never went NA-T even though that car was really built for it.

I really want to do the option 2. 2jzgte swap with R154 but from what I have been reading it sounds pretty difficult. Im not worried about the engine harness, thats what dr. tweaks for, but I cant seem to find a good build thread to follow.

Option 1. with 1jzgte sounds easier.

1UZ + R154? Not really feeling the V8's in these cars. If I ever did a V8 it would be a 5.0 mustang fox notchback.

GTE + V160. Anything else you will regret later on with thoughts of "I had the chance but didnt jump on it"
