LOL, good luck with that.

If you want power, drop in a BPT engine.

If you want a 1J, buy a Toyota.

Yeah owning a car with 2jZ is special enough ( it makes you feel real good - not as good as owning a turbo truck engine but almost)

You may not like it but - this is in the silly questions basket. Unless you have 20K to burn.

You want a 1JZ but a Mark2 - dump **** laser and move on.

You may be able to swap it for a can of coke and a bag of chips.
