I've seen plenty of people sell off their swap project, half finished, because they couldn't hack it.

This is true. The wiring needs to be sent out if you do not feel comfortable with it. The harness needs extended 18" and isnt tha hard.....keywords...... IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCED in electrical. If not. Don't attempt it. Like CRE said there is a good number of people that give up at this point..

The swap took me a week including extending the harness which took 3 full days of soldering, checking. And depending on the year your supra is u may need custom mounts. You will be lookin more like 4k ish if you do it all yourself that's what it cost me start to finish. If you can't do it all add 800 for harness work at supra store.

By far the best and cheapest route in the long run is to buy a front clip then you have all the little things you couldnt possibly think of like the front bumper support that is shaped different to fit the bigger intercooler.. and that is one of many pieces you would be stealing from a clip.. it will at first look like your spending more money. But once you see how many things u need from it you will he glad you did. Not to mention you can see how it went together when your tearing it out. BTW. It is one PITA to move the clip.

And like CRE also said in stock form the jz isn't a night and day difference. But its def. Is faster then an OLD Worn 7m. But mod to mod. The jz will win reliably! And another plus is you don't have to replace the headgasket before you put it in the car...... BUT. From my personal experience you SHOULD replace the clutch, master and slave cylinders. And I would highly recommend valve seals... I ignores the valve seal advice I got and as soon as winter hit. As sure as bears shit in the woods they started leaking. LIKE CRAZY!

Here is a link that will give you a list of other things you need to buy...
