Ill need some extra hands. My mom keeps saying I need to go get the corsica off the side of the highway, like its still there after 2 days, since the guy is freakin hes gonna get a ticket (was still in his name)
BS. Big deal, he wont and if at all he does Ill pay it.,

it's going to cost about $4000 to do a 1jz swap. doesn't sound like you got that.
the vvti engines won't be from a supra. you want a supra clip.

oh and the 1jz is not a 7m bandaid. you'll still have a 20 yr old car... things break, shit happens.
why $4000? I got a full clip for $2000, and mounts for $175, what else is gonna cost me another 1800? Im doing this myself. Not paying to have it done.Last I checked $4000 here in houston for parts AND labor.
guy is cutting me a deal, he has tons of toyota shit and cant push it, he pushes everything else he gets but he said there isnt much market for his supra stuff. It IS a supra front clip, he has alot, like I said, including 2 with VVti. He knows what he was talkin about, Im going to make my pick next week.
I didnt even look at that, www.sunsauto.com I spoke with Derek.
Thats 3, man I could get an army of help here lol

Im asking how, please help me out here and explain.
I was looking why it costs that much for a DIY'er, Im just doing a straight over swap, moving parts needed and extending the harness. Im getting a new sender attachment for the 7m oil guage other than that Im getting a clip with it all there, oh and hte 2jz throttle cable. Oh and dont hate me but its only costing $30 to ship my clip to my house, in town pricing.

You need to consider this:
You apparently need reliable transport right, well the 1jz is a good engine. BUT it is still just an engine, you need to maintain it. You should plan to change out the belts and hoses while you have it out, what about the clutch? Is it good or will it need replacing? You need AC in H-town so need to hook that up. Power steering line too.There are a surprisingly large amount of things that will nickle and dime you to death doing this swap. Good fluids, oil & tranny etc. It all adds up. Quick.
Just offering some realistic advice man. It sounds like you are really tight on $$$ so I would hate to see you get almost done then be out a couple grand and still have no ride..........

Nah I did look into all of that, I really skimmed over what all IM getting. I plan on $3500 budget, Im hoping less. If all goes to plan, $2500 loan over a year (paid off in 3 months) and the extra grand from my pocket. I can do this, and I know the engine is JUST an engine but thats ANY car. Nothing is bulletproof. If I own a 1JZ I wont touch the floor (I know, yeah right) until I have a means to fix anything that breaks. I cant get myself into another financed vehicle, so this really is my last option.
Id love ALL the help I can get, if anyone can help realizing I know the costs and problems I may face, please offer your help. Its all good, I know theres a few extra parts I need to grab first. Suns Auto has some low mileage ones so Ill get one of those.

thanks, I would go 7M again but it wont last. I keep hearing horror stories, and I really am afraid of an engine being shipped that I cant personally inspect before hand.
my mom needs a $600 neiman bill overdue, paid now. I said help me and Ill help you. Ill give you $600 cash if you co sign a small vehicle for me to get to and from work right now. A celica or some civic or something. She said well talk.
BEFORE you say take the $600 and put it down on something for me, I cant do it alone, I fucked my creidt up few years ago when I was a teen.

It sounds like you have it rough man, sorry.
It sounds like a stock 7MGE is the way to go for now. You can have it swapped out in a day or two with a friend working straight in the evenings when you're not at work and get it going in 3 days or less. It's just not the time to put anything more into it.

I cant FIND a 7MGE, I tried, otherwise I guess I would right now. I called the 2 places in town that carry em, none in stock. Aside fromthat Im afraid when I get it, itll run me another 2 months then burn out on me.
Other than that, Id rebuild my GE, but I dont have the time to wait for a shop to do it for me and I dont have that much time at home. I mean if it was possible to rebuild in a short time with $1200 or less, Id be on it.

things add up man. if you get a supra clip you'll have most everything you need, but some things need replaced. if you get that clip for that cheap then yeah you could probably come in a good bit under 4k. a swap like this will nickel and dime you to death though.
