Anyone know of some good shops in the VA area? Thinking that when I get the truck over there to either bag it or go to coilovers all the way around.

 

Hey needing help on 2jz swap im needing w58 trans or bell housing and MATT how hard was the swap I have a 89 2wd making a little drift toy haha.

 

depends on how you want to do it. You going with a rear sump or a front sump. I would avoid the W58 trans as it is weak and do a R154. If you do a rear sump will have the option of buying motor mounts from BIC. If front sump you have to have custom mounts made.

 

ok well i'm n/a so the w58 is fine for now and I am front sump. how hard was the wiring that's what i'm worried about. im a full time mechanic and wiring still scares me haha

 

Hes Referring to the two different pans for the 2jz front mounted oil sump or rear oil mounted sump and relation to the trucks crossmember clearance

 

So today i found a 2jz block with head pulled from a sc300 with est 200k. For about 350. Looking to machine, build internals, boost and drop in my 95 pickup. I have seen the BIC motor mounts but have a few questions. What is front and rear slump and if block is in good condition is it worth it?

 

Yea front sump needs to be mounted higher and I payed 500 for 99gs300 2jz vvti 150k

 

Sick! I am going to keep askin around cause this is the first one i have found and 200k scares me a little bit. I would have it machined but its still alot of ware.

 

Where are you located?

 

Mileage shouldn't scare you at all since you are going to tear it down and rebuild it. So long as the block and head aren't cracked I'd use the mileage to bring the price tag down.

 

@toyotadrift: Mine was a 22r so not a lot of the wiring was all custom done. Front sump does not get mounted higher but gets mounted further forward causing you to have to make custom mounts for radiator. Do it the smart way and pay to change it to a rear sump pan!!!!!!!! May cost more but soooo worth it and I will for sure do that if I ever build a new one or redo my current one.

I believe that the only car that came with the 2jz in a rear sump was the supra as well.

Matt could you pm and tell me how the wiring harness was done on this truck? I'm putting a 2jz in my 94

 

I don't know if you're still looking to bag or do the coilovers, but I have a good friend close to Atlanta, GA that does that for a living now. He does VERY nice work and I'd trust anything in his hands. I actually spoke with him about putting coilovers and my Supra IPS in the rear on my 83. He does a lot of air ride work for people and anything else people throw at him. Let me know if you'd like his information.

 

Yes please do. I just got to VA so no truck here for a little bit while get some more work done and then have it shipped. But GA is not too far away. Just PM me the info and I will get in contact with him. Thank you Airick.

 

Where are you in Va? There Quality tire in woodbridge va there really good!

 

I sent you his info. Let me know what he says; I think you'll be impressed.

 

Got is sorry for the late reply but been busy checking into my new command. I am in Virginia Beach Greenghost

 

No problem, I know how it is. It's tough finding time to work on the trucks let alone talk about em

 

Anyone running a 315 tire in the rear?
