I think this particular motor came out of an ambulance haha

So was the stock 2JZ the N/A motor then? I find it amazing that the MKIV was so much bigger than the III and yet it is lighter...cool.
Good luck! Thanks to Fast and the Furious those cars now go for ~$20-30k for one in decent condish!

Awesoem project. How much heavier is the V-8? Couldn't be much with the straight 6 from that car being an iron block.

Its all alloy...Thats what I was thinking. More power, more torque, and less weight. Very nice. Which way do you have to move the shifter?

Can you post up more on the design and manufacture of the bellhousing? I am getting really interested in casting right now, have been doing sandcasting work for the past couple of weeks.
