1JZ Finally

I've been on the forum for 3 years, and most of the time I lurk around the build-up gallery taking note on what to expect in the event hell froze over and I was able to swap a 1JZ into my car. That time has finally come and by a stroke of dumb, random luck I was able to get a 1JZ from a friend of mine (M_31_07) who picked up a built one. The car its going into is my second Supra (technically third) its a red 1991 Turbo, automatic and its a sunroof model. I've had the car for a very long while, it spends its time in my garage slowly getting consumed by the clutter that seems to regenerate as fast as its removed. Anyway I am open to any questions or comments on this swap since its the first one I'm doing without the aid of a shop, I'm doin it entirely in my garage and I cannot wait to get started. As I start removing various things I'll be posting them in my for sale thread, I really don't need 7M stuff anymore and theres a few JZ parts I still need. So here are the pics:

The Car, the pics are old except for the one of the engine bay. I already started getting it ready to be pulled out.

The engine, I just have these pics of it from the for sale thread but once I pick it up on monday I will take new pics of it on the engine stand and post'em up. BTW the engine came with the FMIC kit and everything in the pic minus the wireharness and some sensors.

Dude I never new you had this car.I always thought you had that burgundy one.Well I just picked up a 1J myself and should be getting started after I rebuild my garage.

So whens all the CF stuff going in?
 
I'm seein if paulo at retrospec wants to make a deal on some of my old 7M performance stuff I no-longer need, I have alot of what hes lookin for. Most of my old BS is in my FS thread. I really want the center console, dimmer switch panel and the rain tray. Oh and can't forget the arm rest cover.That would make the car look updated lol along with the 1J haha. I'm still looking for an ignitor, MAP sensor, and Resistor pack. But I have most of the expensive stuff to bolt it in so I'm happy for now. I just want it done by SILV if it happens this year

I gave in to my HP hungry side and mounted my big single on it to see how it looked and decided it will now be a permanent resident under my hood lol. Sine my last post I also picked up a MINES ECU and some Drewgo mani's but the big single looks so happy hanging off the side of the engine.
