Hello CL,
I purchased my GS back in Feb 2014, and I immediately started searching for local members that had either done the same swap or could direct me to someone. I was fortunate to find local members that did just that, like Mr.Gs_GTE and denut-L. Now I am just collecting parts until I have everything I need to get the swap done.
This is my GS

I also got a handbrake from a sc300, it slipped right in. Nice mock up

Thanks mccrimmon,
I don't know a lot about the 2JZ's I am learning still. The one who will be doing most of the work will I try to assist where I can, member Mr.Gs_GTE will be doing the majority of the swap. I'll try to learn more while that happens.

Yeah I did the R154 swap first and ran it on a stock 2jzge motor for a while until that rod knocked. I just completely my 2jzgte vvti swap a couple days ago. Still got stuff to do lol
Edit: Just some advice... My valve cover seals and maybe vvt-i cam o-ring are leaking so you might want to do that while the motors out. Also, if you pull off the oil filter sandwich plate ( to change motor mount locations if need be ).. Remember to replace this o-ring, I didn't and I got a leak now.
