LS engines FTW! Coming from a 6.0L L76 (LS2 Bottom end w/ LS3 Top End) I can tell you that the power/torque LS engines make with very little bolt ons will certainly be better horsepower/$$ than a 2JZ. The all aluminum LS engines and T56/T6060 trans are plentiful and will cost a hell of a lot less and be much easier to acquire.

"But there’s no mistaking the noise. This car is loud, and not in a particularly nice way. There’s no crisp exhaust note, no induction wheezing. It’s just the sound of petrol exploding in a metal box." - Jeremy Clarkson
