I think youll find 200 to be plenty. If you go straight to a huge number, how can you feed your urge for more power later? You'll end up with 100k drink into a 900hp cat you can't even handle driving on the street. Where's the fun in that?

Riding in a car with that much power is different then driving it. If you really want a 2jz swap buy a brz drive it as a daily and build a 240 as mentioned before.
I think you'll be in over your head with even that.

sweet, my dad had a '57. Did you swap in the 4bl 283 or something else?

A well used and rather old but still good fully built 327 4bl out of a stock car went in. The car lasted about two months and broke in half (4 door hard top) going over some RR tracks. Sold the whole works for about $300.

A shop in australia did a really nice twin charged build with a molded in rocket bunny kit and it looked really good.

If your parents are willing to bankroll it might as well go fucking crazy

As stated, I want to be unique.
You can just buy Ken Gushi's Formula Drift car and be unique.

I can spell fine though, you can't. My phone picks stupid words though. Thought it was supposed to learn your writing habits and shit. So why would it assume I'm trying to use a word I didn't even know existed instead of 1of the10 most common sentence openers?

and I just went back and read you other thread. My advice: buy a miata. Smile and giggle driving a car with under 150hp. many years later LS swap if you still have it and want more power

being unique is overrated. Enjoying what you want not caring about others opinion is underrated.
