Default Need Advise on Motor Wrk

Not sure if this has been a thread already , if so my bad
my motor is comming at 200k miles on it , its a 99 GS 300
Im lookin to do a morot swap, can you guys help direct me in the right/ easiest direction?

1) Aristo 2JZ-GTE twin turbo with tranny and ecu
2) 98+ toyota chaser 1JZ 2.5 liter VVt-i single turbo with tranny and ecu
3) the stock one that we aleady have but with less miles

now I've done some research.. and its not a simple bolt on for option 1 or 2 ?

Do the swap. I think you'll be happier in the long run.. That 200k engine has had a good life.. Time for a replacement..

that engine is just broken in! lol jk, but seriously it could prob be rebuilt for $500-$1000 and last another 200k, the gte will be fun, but not really practical, so in other words, if its your daily, stick with the stock motor, if its just for fun, go all out.
