Awesome. I was going to beg you for corner scale weights, but not if your drag racing it. Not as much of a big deal there...

That engine is SOOOOO heavy. Compared to a 13B anyway...

Yup.

Not talking crap about it though. Just means you have to mount it low and back in a car that will turn (which this one isn't of course). Makes gobs of power per pound even at 650 dressed wtih a tranny and a big single

This makes me happy, that not everyone on here is stuck on rotaries like I thought they would be. Expensive looking build.

This may sound funny, do you have problems fitting around your steering wheel? I have a 86 my stock wheel was to big I'm about 5'10'' so id always bang my knees. I put in a smaller one and now my knuckles hit all my switches on the dash.

Wow, I never would have thought that the 2JZ would be used on the FC. If I had to choose, I'd probably choose the 2JZ over an LS1 swap now haha!
