    Do the swap and you'll better understand why. It seems like its as easy as an SR swap, ie just swapping parts, but its not. The entire engine harness needs to be elongated and many things must be changed/relocated to make it work consistantly. I've got 2 cars here now that we're doing the same thing to and including the clips they're total is about $5800 and the motors are relatively stock.

    pic for proof not sure of cost but if they can do this under 6k then id inmagine a 1jz should be way less seeing as thats the JDm MKIII original motor.

    $6000 is pretty cheap for that, especially considering youy have to extend the entire wiring harness 3ft.

    The 2JZ MKIII ran:
    $6000 but he supplied the $600 R154 tranny an a used clutch. that was using a stock sidemount, no replacing of anyhing, etc, etc ,etc.

    it was a a cheap swap, he just wanted the wiring an the engine mounted. He took car of the rest at his house, he dropped it off, we installed an got it running, then he took it home to finish it up.

    Usually a NORMAL MKIII 2JZ swap is in the $8000-10,000 neighborhood for a front mount, radiator, exhaust, etc.
