before you spend your life savings on an mkiv....lemme just say somtin... first of all...rusted parts can be fixed an or replaced...u can either sand them down and bondo/epoxy them before painting. thats a pretty easy job...depending on what kind of paint job you want...if u get a maaco paint job you get a maaco paint job dont expect amazing quality although i must say they do a pretty nice job, body kits dont take care of rust...they just hide it unless you are replacing full parts like the front bumper or the back...usually bolt on kits just bolt right onto the body like a front lip and side skirts. as for the new engine...it depends on how much power you want to make. a 2jz makes a crapload more power on stock internals than a 7m and with a 7m as you increase the boost...watch that head gasket because if you dint replace with sometin good like an hks copper gasket youre basically screwed. a 2jz would be amazing in a 3rd gen supra....i think there are a couple that i have seen...not many because the 1jz is a more popular swap for htat car. I think, but i am not sure, the 1jz bolts on using the stock motor mounts, but since it is a little heavier you have to upgrade the motor mounts, from what i have seen i know that the transmission and teh driveshaft fit fine..if you replace those with the ones from the 1jz. as for gettin this highly sought after motor....there are three websites that i know that you can get it. the first is http://www.jspec.com you have probably heard of this but they usually dont have much...no big selection...you can contact them and make a request...but i heard these guys can get real shady sometimes. the second site is http://www.flashoptions.com they have a wide selection of motors from honda b18's, nissan sr20s and rbs to supra 1jz 7m and 2jz they have deals daily so u gotta check like at least once every two days cause they sell their stuff fast because they sell them at such good prices. the last site i know is http://www.jdmenginedepot.com they are local for me so i sometimes stop by the warehouse to see what they have... they also sell stuff real fast...they get low mileage motors for cheap and sell them for cheap, flashoptions and jdmenginedepot are probably the most reliable..check out those sights and let me know how that project is goin
