i think the question should be : how much money does this conversions cost
and how much money do u have
well here's my two cents
cuz ur going exactly where i was abotu a month ago
you can rebuild the engine with no problem
+side : you got a brand new engine, healthy and fesh
-side : unless u get is torqued and machined while ur rebuilding it
ur gonna go there again and take everything apart which means time and money
you can also, get a jdm 7mgte
+side : the engine is very available, and u get aftermarket support too
-side : its so hard getting them to pass emission
the 1jz conversion
+side : you get a twin turboed engine, good powerplant
-side : limited aftermarket support, and ur stuff is most likely going to have to be customized which mean, u guessed it money and time
the 2jz conversion
+side : yes it is the holy grail of toyota engines, any toyota car/truck
that has that engine with proper tuning will reign supreme
-side : the things costs so much, so hard finding a usdm 2jz, unless ur getting one from an aristo, it is not the same one from a supra
and if u get a jdm 2jz engine, ur going to run into the emissions problem too
but i really do think that ur best bet will be to find a usdm 7mgte engine
and work ur way up from there
if ur gonna get work done to an engine
why not the 7mgte, it is also a very powerful powerplant despite of the headgasket problem
