after ringing around most places want $1800+ to rebuild it and i have to pull it out and install it. $2500 if they do it.
If i was going to spend that much i'd go for a 1jz or 2jz front cut.

maybe so, but will your front cut engine have new pistons/rings/bearings/gaskets etc? and be balanced? and have fresh faces cut on valves/seats? yadda yadda...
sure, you'll get a short warranty on the f/c motor but its condition will be 'as-is' not freshly rebuilt.
plus you've then got all the traum/costs & time of doing a foriegn (to that model anyway) transplant. There's been numbers of between $5K and $10K for total costs of serious transplants thrown around in various discussions.
