Hmm... I see what you are saying. hehehe

I guess I will stay 7M then, I prefer the grunt of a 7M to the wirr of a JZ anyway, lol.

Swapping a engine in is one thing, but taking the chance that it would backfire on me from something like that is not worth it without swapping the cross member, the only problem is, I wouldn't swap the cross members without replacing every bushing I came across, and those bushings are up in price, so a cross member swap isn't in my direct future.

Back to the original topic, I'm thinking of replacing; as many gaskets as I can get to, head gasket, and new vac lines. Can you think of anything else?
