7mgte vs 1jz TT vs 2jz TT

There was a topic not too long ago in a next forum and some one posted this

"WHat i am trying to say is there is NO engine swap that i would reccomend for u. That motor can make alot of power(2j) but your car will always be heavy. If you were to add up the costs of putting a 2jz 3.0 L engine from a mark 4 into your mark 3 supra, you could own a much much better car simply by purchasing a mark 4. What you should be asking yourself is what u want from your car. more power? better handleing? This car was designed as a grand touring auto, and it does that admirably."

I was also told that the bottom end of the 7mgte vs the 2jz is a little stronger stock fo rstock. I was thinking about doing a 2jz swap, but some one told me to just find the top end from a 2j and slap he ron to the bottom end of your 7m.

I guess it all comes down to money, but in the end, the mk3 is still going to be a heavy beast, but we love our heavy beast, so do it up.

Peace.......
