Just buy a 1st gen IS. 2jzge. The 2jzgte your looking at is just factory built to hold boost. Their was a guy selling a fully built GTE on this fourm for @ $4000.00. But a new motor and tranny setup will run you @ 11,000.00 with a 1yr toyota factory warranty.( just don`t tell them what car it`s going in) good luck. I have one i`ll sell for cheap.
I was looking on doing the swap myslef and with labor and parts the total was about 12 grand. If I get a raise in the future I'll consider it again then.
