Yes I can back up this 'engineering standpoint' as a Mechanical engineer specializing in Automotive manufacturing. Like I said I think it's a badass build. I come from the Supra community and have a love for JZ motors. I myself would just be concerned seeing that much fire damage. But I will be following the build
