I wouldn't mind the 2JZ weight then...

I imagine it would be like a modernized version of this:




that wide mariah would be rockin' if it were as you stated, modernized. Drop that damn side trim. I'm on the brink of doing the whole modernization idea inside and out once I buy my buddies badass tII drivetrain.

I just dont think I have it in me to swap in a piston motor.. 400 whp is as far as my goal goes though.. seems anything after that, you spend more time worrying than enjoying.

Good luck with future builds guys, nothing like watching a 1st gen bitch slap an s2k or a shitstang.
