7M-GE to 1JZ-GTE, questions

He's not 100% sure of the grand total, but he said he needs $2200 at least to start out to go ahead and order the engine (comes with trans and computers) and he'll keep me in the loop and checks with me as we go from there -- the rest is the smaller fabrication parts and labor. He says there are a few things he's not completely sure about, like if the guages will still work (says they SHOULD but not 100% certain), as well as how much fabrication will be required to put in the intercooler. He doesn't see it going over $4000, and that's including everything for the swap, as well as other things like replacing my rotors and brakes (they are warped and the brakes are pretty much gone, I can attest to this being true) as well as replacing the stock big fan with electric ones -- something I requested.

under 4k seams reasonable with the above stated mods/parts. with the amount of wiring and everything that needs to go one, parts can add up quick as well as labor. driftmotion sells about everything under the sun for the 1jz swap so use them to your advantage, i think your getting a decent deal for someone doing the work for you.
