If you don't mind me asking what sort of money do the 1jz engines go for?

£600 can buy you a bare engine, £800 ish for a complete one plus loom etc


You can buy a rough JZ30 Soarer for a grand though, that's where I'd get one from

As in what cars they came in??

JZZ30 Soarer's the blobby ones most commonly, JZA70 Supra Mark III rare & Chaser/MarkII's even rarer.

Man up in Sheffield breaks Soarer's he's usually on Ebay

I have done a few more bits an pieces yesterday.
i had a look at the antiroll bar fitting, the standard bar dosnt fit as the sump of the 1jz gets in the way.
so i turned it backwards and fitted it to the chassis legs behind the front subframe



I made some mounts and welded them to the chassis legs



this is how it came out hope it works

Looks like it'll work a treat .. I didn't realise the ARB was a prob with the swap. I guess there may actually some advantages to my engine being pushed back so far after all (grasping at straws I know )

Im sure bon got a bare engine for just under 400 notes, not too long along. Although the prices are going to be going up up and away from now on i bet.

Anyway top work greg.

If you hunt around you can get the engines cheap. What costs is the bellhousing. I paid more for the bellhousing than the gearbox
