Then you'd be looking at about a quarter ov the year downtime while its being worked on.  _____________________________ (in reply to notascraper) Post #: 2

Your looking at alot of work / downtime . Not to mention youll need the ecu from the tundra motor, injectors if the block you find doesnt already have them. Probably a switcharoo with fuel pump. Alot of customized parts. Driveshaft will be to long im assuming. The rearend from a tundra would probably be to wide. Your best bet would be to buy a new 2.2 chrome it out have the guts switched or even had some kind of forced induction . Unless you have alot of time and money and plan on keeping the car as a hobby. Id say its almost worthless to go that route. (in reply to notascraper) Post #: 4

Shouldnt be to hard to do and im sure someone on the net has done it before so you might find some good feedback. Personally a 2jz rwd would be what i perfer. Atleast youll get the extra bang for your buck so to speak. Probably alot more work and downtime. Afterall thats what you want right? I wouldnt waste anytime on a toyota motor with a turbo. Go straight for a truck with a turbo diesel. Alot more fun. (in reply to OnE_To_HatE) Post #: 7
