Most likely this clip you will be getting will be in terrible shape, dash, etc. On top of that its more involved than it seems. You would need EVERYTHING from behind the dash, and this would be if you lucked out and found a supra 1j clip. Unless you know how to weld and fabricate, dont even bother. The easiest way is cutting out the firewall and installing that into your supra. Youre better off making a trip to canada and picking up a complete 1j car.

most 2jz parts cross over yes. including a 2jz block making it a 3.0 or what they call a 1.5jz

I agree converting it over would be a hard task. The reason you get the frontclip is that it will include everything needed to do the swap.

Your a lucky man because living in Cali gives you access to many of our great vendors. Hit up Driftmotion.
www.driftmotion.com and there are plenty of stickies in this section that explains all the answers you could possibly ask.
just look in the vendor part of the forum, i know i have been very happy with driftmorion, 935motorsports, and HPF. They have helped me out so much. I agree with just buying the RHD 1jz instead of doing a RHD conversion, but all said you will love the 1j.
