Was that at the Texax meet? They all have their tops out. I thought it was going to be cold. I hope it's warm enough for the tops to be out. I love driving my car with the targa off.

The point of no return has came and gone. The head is now off of my car and going to the shop tomorrow or friday. I will be pulling my motor out this weekend. I'm now officially scared, but I think I can have everything back in and running soon. Hopefully I won't be missing any parts that I can't get within a few days. Wish me luck.

How did you do your water neck? Thanks for the pictures.

How's it going Jeff? When are you coming home?

Ryan, it looks like it's the same type weather again this year. Ricky had that same coat on last night while we were pulling the head. Why can't I do a build in June like normal people?

didnt you call me and ask me this? lower half is 1jz upper half is 2jz waterneck cut in half and welded so that each side still has a gasket. was trial and error on getting both ends perfect with each other and then welded so that everything would fit into place like stock.

because you all ready have a bunch of parts for the 1jz, single manifold, cams, etc 2jz bottom end w/ the 1jz head is much cheaper then full 2jz
