So its definitely not going to be easy nor cheap to get this thing up and running again. Its looks like perhaps buying a JDM 7M or just going 1JZ is a better option considering its going to cost 2-4K(Performance parts or OEM quality?) to rebuild any damaged components found on that cars bottom end. How do you feel about that approach? I imagine you'd probably just tear this motor apart and throw in some beefy race ready parts and pump out another 800 horses like that blue beast of yours; However, for someone who is still learning about these cars mechanically, would you recommend I just buy another motor or really work with this one, get some help with it, and just go all out on it?? Thanks for your thoughts man
