ive said this before many tiems, i dont really like the domestic/import swapping, i think they should stick to what they have... but since this isnt my car im not going to say not to do it. there are alot of options/parts/etc out there for american motors. something happens to it, just go to a local auto shop and they will more than likely have what you need. if your motor was a 7mge i would not suggest a rebuild, because a jdm 7mge runs for about 400-700 on ebay, a rebuild would prolly cost more than that. and if you are gonna buy a motor over ebay, just go all out and buy a turboed motor, 7mgte or 1jzgte. personally this would be my choice, as i have already bought my jdm 7mgte. but with the swap comes the need to buy the harness, ecu, bell houseing for the tranny, ic and piping... so what you do is entirely up to you and what you want.
