[deathdoakill]

2jz? in a celica?!?!

[block]

should be interesting

[deathdoakill]

Yez sir 2jz we finally finished rebuilding the one we that we got a while back. Went through a whole lot of crap when engne arived block was cracked and seller refused to fix the problem but finally got it resolved. I wanted to swap the engine from my friends wrecked 135i but insurance wanted like 10000 for the totaled vehicle an I was like noooooo lol 2jzgte it is

[4-eyed-freek]

how are going to fit a 2jz under the hood of a 6gc? rwd? transverce mount? cut the fire wall?

[deathdoakill]

Well we've fabricated a new rear using a ford rear end but thats if we end up ripping out the gt4 rear I wanted to i wanted to use. Personaly I don't think its gonna hold up to the power so well probly use the ford rear cuse it will hold up to 700 plus. That an I've got a place thts doing my motor an tranny mounts and installing for 500 including wut ever they have to cut to get it in. We might hve some fitment issues as far as I can tell with the tranny shfter being to far back but ill figure it out when we get there. An yes the fire wall is more than likly needing to be cut. Im trying to find a cheap clip befre we start this swap I want to make this car rght hand drive too but cheap supra parts don't really exhist its all gonna just take time but first the body and after that the engine

Sorry for the bad spelling an d grammer phone is not user freindly

[4-eyed-freek]

How the hell do you crack a 2jz block, the shiz takes some skill... I assume you plan to tube the entire chassis? Will it be a drag car or streetable? Yea the problem i see is unless you extend the rad support(then youll have body issues) the shifter will be in center console. What tranny are you gonna use? v160, r154 ? If you say A340E i will disown you..-_-


edit: also the twins may not fit, they are pretty damn close on the mk3 and thats a HUGE engine bay haha

Yeah I think the shipping company dropped it but problem is finally resolved and yeah tubing front an subframing the rest and yes its possible drag app. But mostly gonna be show an streetable right now the plann is to use the getrag tranny but not sure yet I bought another celica that was in pretty bad shape just for that swap so its gonna be used as the mach up vehicle to ce what has to be fabricated for the main celi with the supra rear end conversion an gt4 front this is just a long process but body first then engine is being worked
