Ls or 2jz swap?
 
I am very interested if anyone has done one or know anyone who has bc I am in the market to do so now. Just want to know from you guys what you think would be a better bang for the buck and as well reliablitity. Daily driver, some track days.

Just know this is going to cost $15,000 easy. Both are good engines. If I were doing it I would go for the one I can find easiest in my area for a good price. What transmission are you going with? The Supra transmissions are getting more and more expensive as people are wanting them for swaps.

One person I know who has done it is Ken Gushi with a 2JZ-GTE
Another I know who has a LS in his BRZ is Dai Yoshihara.
