Or you could buy my suprcharged g200 sohc which will bolt straight in, has rebuilt 5 speed and h/d extreme clutch. Owes me over $6500, you can have it for 4 grand. Bolt in, no mess, no fuss. Everything is well detailed too and engine has only done 5000 kays.
cheers

$8k would get u a bitchin rotor installed with MORE than 200 horsepower! but i am a bit biased other than that sr20's are pretty good, but u gotta pay attention to the details to make a conversion work. I personally like the idea of a lexus v8 in a gem but try gettin that passed!

hey gene... ok to get an email from you on what needs to be done and where concerning doing that mod to a stock FJ20DET (engine mounts, gearbox, tail shaft mods ect)
the g200 idea was good but efi is the way to go without payin 5 g's to get it done to a g200 lots of other reasons why ive swayed too
would be hugely appreciated:
