-UPDATE TIME- dammit!!!

well it's been a while(ran out of cash). and i have to tend to my rb swap. raising 3 kids(my cars) isn't an easy task. I brought this car from a fellow in sedalia m.o. and upon further research i would need a rear sump oil pan and a sc300 if i was to do any kind of jz based swap. a used oil pan goes for $250.00($500.00 new). and a front x member goes for who knows how much(haven't seen a sc at p&p for a while).

So the guy happend to have a wercked 300 he was trying to unload for a couple of months. i finally bit after i talked him down to $300.00(later $250.00) i employed my friend alan who helped me with the 400 pull. the deal was we go pick it up.i take what i need and he could have the car for scrap(it had a clean title). 

The car had 290,mi about 300 miles on it. it started. smoked alot from the engine but started. the rear dif was locked up so we had to improvise the damn thing onto the dolly.

interior had is(still water where back seat used to be).

so the day after, got a late start pulling the engine and nighttime creeped up on our ass. so doing it in the dark, with flashlights and stuff.

Wasted an hr and half trying to get this ****ing engine out. then realized the car was in "park" and that held onto the driveshaft yoke. so put the ***** in neu then the **** came out like cum from a virgins weiner...

the day after. the block was dirty as ****. i removed the engine mount brackets,and chucked the headers and sold the cat(only one,seller sold other)

so my pal did some research and found out that the n/a block is tits in the jz community. so i gave it to him for some suby wheels and $50.00 bucks. so i had to remove the oil pan before hand.

so many bolts

finally ****ing done.

i have to go and remove the x-member this month sometime. so stay tuned.

^^ you don't say..

james n said in his forumla.

I've been getting some PM from member who is interest in doing this swap. So i'm about to list all the parts from the top of my head that I've done in conversion. 

1)2JZ-GTE Engine and Tranny auto.

2) Lextreme TC because I want to have more torque plus I was told that it would help my tranny hold extra HP once I go single.

3) I bought new wiring harness since I don't like old wires. You can use your old harness if its in good condition. Also my motor was ARISTO so I have to get supra harness and ECU. 

3) I've change oil pan becuase the Aristo motor is front sump. You need rear sump from the SUPRA. If you can get a hold of a Supra motor then you dont need to change oil pan. 

4) YOU NEED TO CHANGE ENGINE MOUNT AND MOUNT BRACKECT TO SC300 one. That would bolt right up.

5) Relocate your Power Stearing tank.

6) You dont have traction control no more.

7) Get down pipe and recommend to change exhuast too

8) Get SC300 coolant reserve tank

9) Drive shaft bolt right up to the auto tranny. 

10) MSD Tach adapter for your Tach but its not acurate

11) Your Tempt guage won't work properly get a Resistor for it.

12) Upgrade to Walbro fuel pump

13) Redo timing belt water pump, cam seals, crank seals, and rear main seals

14) Check for bad pulleys and change them too

This is pretty much it if you want you stock conversion and that is all I can think of.
