1jz swap
 
im sure there is probably a ton of information on here already about doing the 1jz swap but i have some specific questions i would like answered and i dont want to spen hours looking for them.

im about to do the 1jz swap. i have an 87 non-turbo automatic and i ordered a front clip with the 5 speed so that i could kill two birds with one stone. i have done my fair share of engine swaps and i know how hard it can be when you are trying to peice together a swap that is why i got the front clip. im just wondering if everything is going to be as straight forward as i think it will be. let me know what else i might need that the front clip wont have. thank you!

Is ur 87's body in perfect condition? The 87 will be pretty hard to put the 1jz into u need to get motor mounts and such Bic Performance makes some. If your 87 isnt in the great of shape i would suggest getting a 89~92 hard top N/A for like $1500, there the lightest of all the supras and the 1Jz would drop right in.

i heard that all you have to do is change out the front crossmember, so if i get the front clip cant i just change that over?

Ya i guess u could. Is the front clip actually a Supra or is it a chaser?

its an actual supra front clip. what i want to know is if every is going to be a straight swap. ie. take everything out of the engine bay in my car and put everything from the engine bay of the front clip in. what kind of wiring issues should i expect.
