I originally was going to do a 3sgte about 5 years ago which didn't pan out. I had a w58 I bought for that swap left over sitting in my garage. Fast forward to a year ago I find someone trying to get rid of a 2jzge with auto tranny for cheap. I couldn't pass it up. Especially after I saw the build of a 1jz in an AE71 (the yellow one). Bought some similar parts and here I am now. Doing this swap.
