I think the IS would be Garmoile's cat. I think they called him Adrienne.
Anyway, he was never quite fast enough to catch any of those smurfs. LOL j/k

ever thought about doing the swap yourself? I know a few members from the cressida forum that have done it before. They put the 1UZ-FE in an MX73 (84-88 Cressida) and many swapped in the 1JZ-GTE from Chasers into the MX83 (89-92 Cressida). They fit no problem but it's the wiring that's a pain in the butt.
