Lookin good, that cam torquing sequence is a PITA. I was sick of torque sequences by the time I got the head on and back together...
On the turbo spacer, if you're using the stock intake manifold you definitely won't have room. I had a 1/2" spacer and it was too tall, had to machine it down to 3/8" to make the turbo fit under the IC pipe.

The cam torque sequence from the TSRM is weird, turn the cam, loosen caps x,x,x, and x. Retighten, did this like 3 times with different caps and cam positions.
Ahh that really sucks.
I need an FFIM!!!!
Made more progress today! 
Had some trouble last night with timing. When ever I tried to time it, I would spin the motor over once or even 2 revolutions and it would be 5degrees off on the the crank. I got it though.
I bought the underdrive pulley kit from Driftmotion. FTW! Check out the weight difference in crank pulleys!
Stock pulley
DM Underdrive pulley
Bad part about the DM underdrive pulley is you have to make your own timing mark.
Got all the timing covers on besides the very top one, valve covers, and some other things worked out.
Cleaned by my buddy at the machine shop!

Got some stuff from Watson today. Bellhousing, rear sump oil pick up, dipstick/tube, baffle, and some gaskets.
Hopefully going to make some real progress in the next few days.

More progress.
After finding out that the DM underdrive crank pulley wasnt a good idea I pulled it off.
Saturday night I got the hoist back so we pulled the 7m out. Its a tight squeeze!
My buddy brandon helping me.

Damn, Reid. Finally seeing some action on this project. Andre keeps telling me how great the setup is, but can't wait to see it on the road. Too bad all 3 of us can't fit in it during SEMA.
Hope the build goes well, I just sent mine off to paint, hopefully it'll be back in a couple weeks and I can get started.

Thank you. Im striving for a really clean swap.
Me too your timing covers came out pretty good im about to do them for mine before it gets to cold to paint again
Got the CPS mounted in the head. Just need to figure out how to time it correctly.
I also received my rear sump oil pans from Gazi Ali(Clublexus member). Parts are in really good condition. I started cleaning them myself but just decided to bring them to the machine shop instead. My buddy called me today from the machine shop, he said that he got them washed, just need to drill and tap the oil drain flange and I should receive my parts back tomorrow.
Spent some time tonight cleaning up the engine bay with the pressure washer, degreaser, and a big brush. Also ripped the old PS cooler lines out.

Got my oil pans back from getting washed by the machine shop. They can out really clean!

Just did some small things.
Got the Prosport water temp sensor mounted in the water neck.
I also moved the knock sensors from the 7m to the 2jz.
Also mounted the temp sensors in the 2jz head.
And bolted the square motor mounts to the BIC mounts.
