You can have a built 7m for the cost of a 1jz swap and still have no problems with emissions or inspections.

my motor came from a supra...oh and joel...we alrdy know 7m's are nice cheap motors..just casue u can get 4 of those for only one 1jz...doesnt make u better than us...does it?

never said i was better, just smarter..and poorer...

EDITED up till the other day, i had been totally joking around with you, (like kidding)
but you seem to be taking it personally,, sorry if i hurt your feelings. i did not realize you were so sensitive..

nah i know ur kidding...that seriousness that seems to come out is my sarcasm, hahaha its all fun and games until someone gets their eye poked out, thats what my kindergarten teacher told me once....all i remember was my 5th grade homeroom teacher was hot hahaha

cool man, glad your kidding.. sometimes its hard to tell with text. :)

And so ends another episode of Joel accidentally pisses someone off... but not really, hehe =b

Call me old fashioned but i like the simple to fix tolerant to tom-foolery 7m. Although the JZ series are the real power houses, i think the 7ms will be around forever. Just too reliable.

yeah i dont mean to piss any one off... ever.. if i do, let me know, ill try to be more friendly.. i kid around sometimes in good fun but i dont mean to offend anyone...

i think we can all agree the 1jz is a awsome motor, with more power potential than the 7m. but if your on a budget, think 7m.. if not go 1jz..

is it hard to get parts for the 1jz ? i mean are the parts on the shelf or are they all special order? like alt, starter, waterpump, gaskets, seals, type parts??

nah its not hard to get parts for a 1jz...they just a long time to get to wherever it needs to get, i really didnt have much of a problem since i made sure i ordered everything before starting the install

i dunno but if i keep dragging my feet and dont get any money i might start lookin for a 1jz

I'm kinda personal to the 7M myself, but that's also because of my pitiful income... But if I won the lottery I'd get a 1JZ. :-)
