    A 2jz weights 500+ pounds and it is as most Inline 6s are, very long. Not all that great for handling. Yes, if all you understand is straight line than that is the motor for you but otherwise, i think it makes a car too front heavy.

    handling was never really brought up in the discussion, but For daily driving purposes the 2j is more reliable, more fuel efficient, and has low end tq for days

    That is just how i look at a car. I know it wasn't brought up but balance is more important than anything else to me. Now a rotary isn't very light either. I'm pretty sure an LS1 weights less than both and is more reliable than both.

    i dont really remember the specifics, but back when i had my FC the swap into a FD was heavier by about 30 lbs or so....but that was without any creature comforts like a/c p/s etc
