Default 1j 2j dillemma

i have this problem i need some other opinions on. my 2j is all in pieces awaiting parts to build the motor and is very far from being completed but i came upon a killer deal on a 1j thats complete. should i get the 1j and get my car set up for the 2j in the future or just hold off wait to finish my 2j.

who cares, keep it for a spare, or build it up, chuck some nice cams in it and throw it back on....

1JZ's are really nice motors you will enjoy it, they SCREAM at higher RPMs and sound unreal!
