Get an MZ20/MA70 front cut and it will be plug-and-play.

why not just go to the trouble of finding a jza70 half cut and chuck a 1jz into it,
the engine is better(to most people)
a HEAP easier to find than a 7m cut.
and only around 2200 for auto and 3800 for a manual with r154
and it is also completely bolt in

I was origionally thinking about puttin a 1jz in it, and then i was talking to one of my mates and he said you had 2 modify the origion cross member to suit, and i know my car series came out with a M series motor as a option i thought the logically choice instead of dicking around trying 2 make a 1jz fit was just go with what works. at the end of the day it all depends on how much i can get a 1/2 cut for and how much work 2 change it over, i have the tools its just which ever i decide i have to do on the ground so its a lot more fun, lol, is the 1jz any wider then the 7M's will i have any trouble with turbos hittin or anythin
cheers

The JZA70 crossmember is interchangeable with the xZ20 Soarer, so you swap the crossmember and the engine at the same time and it all fits. The Soarer and Supra are essentially the same car with different bodywork.

2 easy mate if i was a more sensible person i would go with the ijz over the 7M wouldnt i, isnt the 1jz only a 2.5L where the 7M is a 3L, why would the 1jz be more sensible then?? is it more balanced, i know there more of a popular motor,
cheers mate if im making any sense

if you buy a 1jz half cut from a jza70 thats already manual, it will all bolt up.. no modification needed, tranny tunnel and all will be fine.
the 1jz is a newer and essentially better designed motor(some people might argue that)
the fact is it just makes more power and more torque, has better response cause of its 2 small turbos
