build looks great...reason for this swap i'm guessing is to be different from everyone else? Because when you compare gte vs ls1 as far as cost wise the ls cost more and theres way more involved in getting everything to work. Either way looks great is that flat black?

How many LS swaps have you done? lol I assure you 6.0 v8 swaps go for a lot cheaper than 2jz swap

Well I don't know what the cost difference would be. What I do know is that the ls1 platform is an excellent one. Heads and cam and you have a 450 whp car no problem. Yes indeed it is flat black!!!

dude relax you sound like a douche i was asking a normal question? I'm very aware of what a ls engine can do especially with an iron block. Used 2jz with harness could be had for less then 2k, couple odds and ends like pump/safc/clutch etc and youre at 350rwhp on stock JDM twins, upgrade to USDM twins and injectors youre at 450. What i'm saying is with 2j you dont have to buy mounts/cross member, on 2j ac will work, p/s will work nothing needs to be custom,like headers fuel feed and return to fuel rail....etc. I think 2j and ls are both very capable motors its just way more work required to make the ls work in our cars.

OP your project looks great !
