Hello to all on this awesome site. There is so much information on this site it is incredible. I currently own a 1997 Nissan 240SX that use to be KA-T but is now back to N/A and I am looking into getting a MKIII and swapping a 1JZ in but have no info how hard this swap is and that is why I am here. :icon_razz
New here and new to Supra's.

Welcome! I'm kinda new here too, but I've noticed plenty of threads on swaps all over this forum. Try using the search function for broad/ complicated subjects and educating yourself a bit, then asking specific questions on parts of the project you have problems with. I'm sure more experienced members would be happy to help with questions like that once you do a little work on your end!
Did you plan on buying a MKIII shell and then a 1JZ swap, or finding a car you can drive for a bit while you do your research and save $$? Do you not like 7M-GTE motors? There's plenty of aftermarket parts available for them and they have a good amount of potential for power.
I'd even bet if you played your cards right and bought a running MKIII with a 7M-GTE in it, then spent the money you would spend on a 1JZ swap on the motor you already had in the car, that it would be faster than a 1JZ. :naughty:
Just something to keep in mind!
