Options for my cressida.

Hello,
i'm new to this forum, but no forums in general. Stumbled accross this site from a www.nissansilvia.com post. I must say, i love what some of you are doing to your soarers, cressida's, celicas and even rav4's 
I own a cressida, which i believe is an mx73. It's a 1984, inline 6 2.8l. I love the car and i believe it has true potential.
I was wondering what kind of options i had for engine conversions, body kits...and so on.
Will the engine's out of the old soarers fit into my beast, will a newish 2jz fit into my beast? I just need some ball park estimates as to what will fit under this hood.
Would also love to know where you guys get your body kits from for cressida's.
Thanks in advance guys,
Marshall

1984, thought that would make it a late MX62? Check the firewall ID plate....
If it is a MX62 then a 1J/2J might be a bit hard (I believe that the steering box will foul on the turbos, tho I'm not sure, something to think about anyway )
Cheers
Wilbo

Youroptions are any M series or JZ series (all straight 6s), & even a UZ (V8) if you wanted to be a bit different.
A 1j conversion can be had for around $5000, give or take, including 3" exhaust & big front mount intercooler, and will provide hours of endless fun...
