They are all great engines, but I just prefer the sound of straight sixes over a V8.
Either JZs will be a hell of a lot easier, but a LSx would be more interesting.

for simplicity, go one of the JZ options. OEM bolt up will mean minimal fuss and custom parts. for awesomeness, go the LS3. either way, will sound awesome with any of the options and will be fast as farrrk with all options, so its down to YOU bro!sigpic

I'm currently going through the same thing. I paid tuition, then the next week threw a rod in my wrx. It's going to be astronomically expensive to fix, but after I pondered parting the car I said fuck it. Lets make some fucking power.
So after a month of research, and analysing spreadsheets of every motor from a price, power, and longevity stand point, I decided to play it safe.
My difference is I need my car working again asap. My advice is, toss the car on a train and keep it. save your pennies and go bananas, twin turbo mullet smasher and put the lsx in it down the road.
If that doesnt tickle your nuts correctly than play it safe. Don't get fancy and stick with what has been done. The 1jz came in the car in japan, my grandma has done the swap 17 times, it's documented, you can count your expenses before it happens. Stay safe do that, keep costs down and fix it before you go and make good power. If you're not happy with the power, or the ceramic turbos let go and you want another Beyonce impregnator under your hood, swap in a 2j bottom end down the road and build a monster.
400hp is alot. Sure it wont be winning races in texas, but it's still enough to scare the panties off bitches and shit.

They're a capable engine, and I’ve seen some great examples of high HP/TQ 1UZ's but it just isn't going to fit what I have in mind for the buildim josh. i have a supra

Just spent like the last hour or so reading this wonderful build. I'm so glad you kept the car. I almost shit myself when I got to page where you said you were parting it out lol. I feel like I've known this car forever now. Keep it up man.'88 323 - K-swapped
