I don't know what the cost will be for labor. On the supraforums I see people quoting about 3 grand (on the low side) for a complete 2jzgte engine with the stock turbos. Also the reason you didn't see a hood on that car is because it doesn't fit underneath the stock hood, it needs a custom one that is raised up and people who've seen it says its ugly. If you're going to convert to piston, I'd stick with the LT1 for ease of conversion and fitting into the stock body lines.

Supposedly they are the first people to try that swap so basically it would be hard, expensive, and a long wait. I don't think that car is even running yet.

Do a search for Granny's speed shop, they have a kit for a LT1 conversion.
