Hi 85 Cressida, the conversion itself isn't hard. Mechanically everything bolts in and isn't a worry but the wiring is the hardest part. By FAR the easiest option is to buy a JZX81 halfcut that gives you everything and also you can trace wires back alot easiesr. That was the option i wanted to take but in the end for some strange and unexplained reason I got sent just an engine and trans combo, no loom or ECU, VERY frustrating :( Without a matching loom you will soon learn there are over 8 variants of the 1JZ loom. Ball park figure I would say $4-5k AUS depending on how much of the work you can do yourself. My figure there includes $3500 for the half cut and $1500 to pay someone to wire it up. My setup has changed alot though in the past year so I will post up some updated pics. 2 key things, its now Purple and puts out over 600rwhp :p
