I also had the idea of an ls1 in a round body supra because I have that one guy I know who lives breathes and everything in the world and then some loves 2jz's and if its not a Toyota and have a 2j it ain't fast or worth talking about and this is someone else not my friend with the 2jz miata

I vote c5z, problem with spending 20k on a swap car is your resale is **** at that point you can guarantee youll lose money.

I have always loved notchback mustangs so thats the swap I went with and its pretty damn cheap(half what your willing to spend adn I have some mods).
