Depending on your type and year of ma70 you may need to use the jza-70 crossmember and engine mounts. Wiring is a matter of mating the jza-70 to the ma70 body loom and dash loom. It took us a while because we had to trace a lot of the wiring from the jza-70 but there are heaps more wiring diagrams on the net these days so it should be easier. As Norbie said, it is time-consuming though, as just about every part inside the engine bay needs to be swapped over. It took my Dad and I about 7 weekends (sometimes only working on Saturday) Plus you'll find a heap of things that will require fixing/replacement on the way. A 2jz swap would be harder, but again there are heaps of instructions/hints on the net. If you can afford it, it would certainly be the option to go for. If not, the 1jz is a good performer. Although why bother with a ma70 and engine swap. Damn ma70's are a practical joke played on an unsuspecting public who believe toyotas are reliable by a breakaway group of devil worshipping of toyota enginners who then went to work for Ford (and built the AU). But maybe I'm just saying that because my handbrake cable broke on the weekend and it was a major pain in the arse f**king job to replace it. [Report message to a moderator]
