1jzgte MHG??

aren't the soarers front sump?

The 2 door JZ powered cars are rear sump. The 4 door JZ cars are front sump.

#1stunna, it seems like with your budget you really have no other option then to get the Soarer engine and learn as you go. It sounds like you have already decided to go that route, and you're just looking for someone to tell you it's the right way to go. It can be done, it just takes a lot of research and patience, (and time!) and the engine set itself is not the only expense you will have before you are finished.


Here is plenty of reading on 1jz engine swaps:

alright guys u'll never guess what i just did. after i found out that the motor set i was gonna get is out of a soarer i started to call up other places to see if they had any supra 1jz in stock. of course they didnt but one spot did have a front clip. now i kno i said i would never buy one but i couldnt say no to the price so i had to take it. after calulating all it would take to get a motor set running in the car and how much it would take with this particular set for the price i was payin it turned out that this way would actually be a few hundred cheaper so i jumped on it. i guess im glad a bought the front clip but im just a little nervous that i got in over my head here. i been researching this swap for quite some time now and im a auto tech major in college so i am mechnical incline but for some reason im still just a but nervous. lol stupid right? i guess its just cuz i havent done anything on this size of scale before. hopefully it goes smoothly and if i get stumped hopefully u guys will be there to help me outta it.
as soon as i get the clip i gotta get to work taking everything out because the place where im gonna put it i wont be able to keep an entire clip there for very long.
so im thinking of everything im gonna need to take out of it. so far i got:

Motor
tranny
wiring harness and ecu
ignitor chip
fuse box
radiator and hydrofan setup
motor mounts and crossmember
gauge cluster ( to get the 1j tach)
1j body connectors

am i missing anything here guys? i hope ill be ready and prepared to do this swap. is there anyone in the NYC area that would be able to help if i get stuck?
