Question sc300 1jz Project Car

Hello Club Lexus,

Please excuse my Noobyness. I have recently bought a auto 1992 sc300. I have also bought a 1jzgte 5speed front clip. I plan to start the swap very soon. My main question is what size/how many wires do I need to extend the wiring harness. Also the guy at the engine shop suggests I use an electric radiator fan, what is your guys' view on that? Also can I use the stock power steering from the SC, because the 1j's is broken. Are there any tips or things i should look out for before I tackle the tranny/engine swap? Thank your guys for your time, and I greatly appreciate any feedback.

search for the build threads. you'll find a bunch of info that will help you.

but to answer your questions short...

you need to extend them about 18 inches.

an electric fan and radiator combo from ebay will work.

all JZ power steering pumps are the same. u can swap the parts that make them different.
