What's a bone stock 2JZ run you? Plus the value of the time to get it in there ND RUNNING WELL..? VS the same amount put into a BP which is already in the car. I'll stick with my BPs (unless you wanna talk about LS1's )

How many BP's get to 1000 hp? Apparently the new record is the Greek guy with 800...
How many 2JZ's do you see with north of 1000 whp? Not every day, but I've seen quite a few in magazines/forums/etc.
If I had deep pockets, I'd go with the 2JZ, just for ***** and giggles.
^^^ And what he said, 2JZ's are already really damn strong in stock form.

Yea, I was thinking exactly that, but we were talking strictly about power output. And if you need the power that a 2JZ is going to give you, I don't think you give a flying **** about handling.

Awesome. Notice that all he needed to mount the motor was custom motor mounts. No k-member modifications if I understood his post correctly. Fab a rear mount for the trans, a mount for the diff end of the PPF, make a custom driveshaft, done. All of that is relatively easy.
I wonder how well the shifter turret lines up with the stock hole?
