?'s jza70 rhd swap in a ma70?
 
i have a 87 turbo supra and i wanted to do a 1j swap on it but also was (thinking it would be cool to have a rhd mk3 supra). if i got a jza70 front clip could i just transfer over the wiring n engine or is there still a headache involved n doing a rhd swap plus 1j swap?

anyone who has done a rhd swap plz give me ur input.

So take the front half of one vehicle and weld it to another? It's known as a "cut and shut" and they're illegal pretty much anywhere with automotive safety laws. You could always try to lie, but you will have a lot of trouble certifying/registering it as there will be no record of that VIN and you cannot just drill out the old tags and rivet them onto the front quarter dash while maintaining any semblance of an unaltered, factory finish. You'll also never be able to take it to the track.

Oh, and typically these type of projects are the ultimate automotive timebomb... building an air-cooled GM LS7 would probably prove more reliable. Unless the welder is a Jedi master the project's going to be a disaster. I would expect to pay a small fortune to get this job done right.
