Didn't you bring up the S65 V8 swap not too long ago?
I could see it easily being over $20k to get the swap going. I have almost $20k in just my engine and transmission alone on my LS swap and money keeps adding up because I have to rebuild the engine again.
If the swap isn't for you, no need to continue putting others down for going for it, or talking it through. You sound exactly like the people that tell me I was stupid for swapping my car and not buying a corvette.
With the B58 being about $1500 more than a 2JZ and fully aluminum making close to 700whp with bolt on upgrades, I don't see why it isn't a good swap. Canbus is just a part of these swaps, pay to play unfortunately. There are a few cheaper options popping up now that offer canbus support that could provide a cheaper swap option as well.
The other 6 cyl option I was looking at is the new v6 ecotech/LV3. LT based v6 making 285hp and 305tq N/A. More if you run it on e85. Lightweight All Aluminum V6 that works with a lot of the current LS/LT V8 stuff. Would be a killer swap
