for now, no. i just need the motor to get my heap running. ive heard to make a 2jz bolt up to the auto tranny i need a 2jz bell housing correct? ive also read about the "fun" involved with the re-wiring job. im not looking to rush but how long would it take to do this swap?

how long would it take to do this swap?

Have you done any swaps before? How many hours a day/a week are you going to work on it? Do you drink while you work on your cars? How good are you at wiring? How long will depend on all these things. I can get a lot done in a day or two if I'm working hard, if I'm slacking I can take all winter to do a small project.

If you have all the parts you'll need (which you won't) and you don't run into any snags (which you will) and you don't foul anything up (everyone does) you can do it in a day or 2. Give it 2-3 weeks... at least.

JZX81, JZX90 engine mounts will work. for the tranny, I honestly have no clue how to mate anything other than a sledgehammer to an automatic transmission, so I can't help you with that one. Are you going to try to use the stock MX83 transmission?

nope im not a drinker and id plan on doing as much as i could. ive done a swap in a 64' ford mustang from a 6 to an 8. i know its a lot diff but ive have some experience, im not gonna say i know perfectly how to do this since god knows i don't. but ill do what i can and get the parts as i can get them. ive got another ride for the time being so the time frame is little relaxed now. wiring im not so good but ive got a couple of friends that can help me with the wiring.

you could save yourself heaps of time and buy my shit. http://jzxproject.com/bbs/index.php?showtopic=4476

my engine is just sitting here... It comes completely running with everything you could possible need minus a running turbo. short shifter and all.

^you're headed for disaster homie. don't sink funds into something that will stagnate. concentrate on/prioritize on other things till you are set up to do cool shit. You're different than me but all the symptoms are the same.. leave it be.

Me. Lol.

During your life, you can always turn back. When you die, there is no turning back.

Your life is only what you make of it so make it good one.

your right man thats what im going to do, im going to start collecting parts for the swap i want and when i get the parts then ill do it. my issue is right now time and money just aren't so im going wait till i can really make it happen. ill start getting cheaper stuff for right now, like wheels, tires, and maybe cut springs or some s14 springs to drop it.
