***Need expert advice on a 2JZGTE swap in a Lexus***

sixfourbolt · 08-26-2006, 08:00 PM

Hello Supra owners....I'm in the market for some kind of early/late 90's Lexus to use as a daily-driver for the time being. Later on down the road, I would like to swap in a 2JZGTE (I think that's the famous 93 - 97 Turbo Supra motor of choice but correct me if I'm wrong). I'd like to know what's the most feasible and/or possible Lexus vehicle that would cater to this swap. Make sure to include whether I should purchase a V6 or a V8 Lexus, i.e. Lexus GS300 or GS400. Also, I'd probably go with an automatic transmission but include your knowledge on which setup would be best. I know the SC300 has a manual option but they're tough to find and I'm not sure if I'd want another 5-speed for a daily-driver. Alright guys....you can reply to this post, PM me and/or send me an email with your expert advice. I'm looking to purchase a Lexus within the next two weeks so the sooner the better on the advice. Thanks Supra owners and I'm looking forward to hearing from ya........sixfourbolt.
