hey, i am from dallas tx and i am on the quest for a sc 2jz-gte swap. i was told this would be one of the best places to learn about the swap. i want to make sure i know as much as possible before i start on this project so any input or write ups you wish to link me to would be appreciated. i might as well ask a few basic questions.
1. how much will this cost to do it right? i dont want much power with the intial swap but in the future i will be going big turbo and big power.
2.is there any major difference in which year SC i get? besides cosmetic
3.to those who have done this swap how hard is it? and how reliable is the car when done?

again TIA

Welcome!
1. I've been told the cost will be around $5K-$7k. I bought mine already swapped.
2.Get the SC300 as the engine is a direct drop-in.
3.Reliable yes if its done right and will actually run!

Sorry I'm being a little biased in #3 as mine will not start and I just got it.
