ya v8 is cool but I went with a 2jz, it is a little heavier than a v8 but not bad, my 2j7 wieghs 2995 pounds with a full tank of gas and it still sounds like an import.
unless you got an aluminum block, youre gonna be nose heavy. I got iron heads n block, moved the battery to behind the rear bumper and mounted the alternator doen low. Still 200+ lbs on the nose over stock. But twice the power n torque. The rear ends are 4.10 so that M22 would be ok on hte street but you'd be climbing the rpms on the highway. I would go the 400 sb with the 700r4, the overdrive is nice. I got my car up to 160 mph at 5900 rpm 4th gear before I let go n came back to earth, mentally
engine tranny n cam lifters roller rockers aluminum intake n holley 650 DP and comp cams electronic module (replaces the Points under distributor) -- 800
Granny's Speed Shop swap kit - 650
aluminum rad - 450
custom cut n ballanced driveshaft -- 500
I moved away n my uncle took the car to finish it off and I had to pay labor :( - 1400
soooo thats about 4100 bucks and I also had to rebuild the entire break systen with new pads n rotors n mCyl
@TheRx350 Well I already have access to a couple 350s, a couple 396s and a 400 small block along with a 700r4 or m22 rock crusher. I was wondering the engine mounting stuff and to keep the engine light to not throw off the weight i understand aluminum heads keep weight down well?
I was worried about the weight myself. Then I figured out that the front end lifts up cause of all the torque hahahaha

I'm looking into this swap into my 86 GXL actually, is it very difficult/expensive?
