My friend said he could probably drive it to work everyday, which is about 25 miles or so round trip, but it knocks like crazy.

please don`t drive it with a bent rod, it is terribly hard on the engine, especially bearings.

Its a hard thing to decide what to do with it.... If you go to the 2JZ then you are prob. going to want to go 5 or 6 speed then you run into the whole pedal swap and finding parts thing... God knows 5 speed SCs are a pain in the butt to find and even harder to find someone that will give up the pedal assembly. "Side Note" I wonder if the Supra pedals will work? Second please understand that a good 2JZ swap will cost as much as about 3 good ES300s..... They are not cheap, I know, and I a doing a "budget" one... MY suggestion is I would sell off all the old parts, use the money to buy a used pontoon boat, take the pontoons off, hook them to the SC body and a very nice weekend party cruiser for the lake... The first ever Pontoon SC.........I true dream come true for any TRUE Lexus addict......

It sounds like you don't know a whole lot about mechanics. I see you are taking it to a mechanic which is a good idea but will cost you alot of $$. Your mechanic better be familair with the 2jzgte, Sc's, and motor swaps because this is no walk in the park.
Good luck with your project.
