I'm assuming the rebuilt motor will have a metal headgasket and ARP studs correct? There are SOLUTIONS to the "problems" with the 7M. I don't understand why people don't research into it. The answers are all out there and proven for big horsepower. The "almighty" 1JZ isn't always problem free either. Any motor has it's flaws in one way or another. Bottom line is that if you're going to upgrade any motor in any car, you have to be ready to break something. "You've gotta pay to play"

You want a 2JZ in the car? Be ready to spend a LOT more than 3,500
