You're better off dropping a D16Y8 into your SC.

3k just for the swap labor.. not with the motor included, correct? - this is normally a pretty expensive swap.

It's not downgrading if he already has the car but wants to go a different route to making more power. The 1UZ support is pretty weak compared to the 2JZ.

thats a weak excuse, there is plenty of support, its no more work to make power with a 1uz then a 2jz, or a 1jz.
