Does anybody know how much trouble it would be to do this swap? Or better yet has anyone on here done the swap? Any kind of info would be appreciated.

Why not 1JZ? Much better motor and very similar in size and mounting.

i agree swaps for 240s are endless and with the right help ryan we could pull it off you know me n bruce are down for such a projectthe biggest i would think would be the mounts worst case we can get bruce or yoshi to fab some up

7M sucks...you want to blow head gaskets all the time?

Either a 302/350/LSX/2JZ would be what you want to look at.

Built ka's don't last very long. Without going into specifics a friend back home was making 400ish on his and in 3 yrs I saw 0 clean passes. Good luck.

My car, 1jz all the way.

and the reason people go with these engines over say a ka, is with the stock twins and downpipes and your making 300whp. Throw a single like my 35r and it's a whole nother league. 1jz's stock blocks are good for 600+ and we all know about the 2jz's.
