its sad no one is supporting the 1jz 
never the less i will stick out on this one
i think its a great option
makes good power and is very streetable and parts are much more abundant and more affordable than before
twins make good start if yours arent gone to begin with or a small single is plenty fun
a piggy back, injectors, fuel pump along with that single makes for a fun 350-450whp car
(hopefully your upgrading your tranny if switching to a single)
one thing i dont recommend if doing the 1jz is(larger framer turbo) make sure you choose turbo size appropriately. i made the mistake of this, very laggy, but thankfully i have a new rear end to help for the highway pulls
i think all are a good choice in the end
to each his own though....

Personally I think numerous people overlook the 1J and push it to the side because they care more for the 2J.... but the 1J is a great swap. Cheap in comparison to the 2JZ-GTE and still able to handle a good amount of power 700whp+. Not to mention if you're lucky enough to get a 1J out of a soarer and you have a SC300 its damn near plug and play.
