You are my hero.

Sticking the 2JZ into what we call the VG Valiant is what I would call EPIC. WIN.
Now, anything been done to the motor?
Cause it looks schweeeeet.

[SS PUNISHER]

My buddy keeps telling me to put a 2jz in my monte. ..
I told him if he gave me one a would!

Definitely a cool car, much respect for doing something different.

Engine is essentially stock. That's kind of a misnomer as the 2JZGTE only needs boost and fuel to make more power.
My thought was to make it a good car before just making it fast. I work for Fram/Autolite/Prestone and I use my
personal car for event marketing, (My gift to my coworkers ;)), and the Scamp needs to make 1,000 mile trips at every
outing without being trailered. So let's say it's a driver. My goal is an 11.99 at the drags but really I want a great
driving car that you were just as glad to take on a trip vs. your new car. That's fairly hard to do.

Transmission is the Supra based A340LE Aisin Automatic.

As much as I like the 2JZGTE, I would suggest an LS for your car only because it's well sorted out. My buddy Clark and I swapped a GN motor into his 84' SS
and it's great but we've always said a 6 speed, LS2 or LS3 would have been cooler especially with a turbo. We also built a Fleetwood Brogham with a Police
Car suspension and a semi built GN engine that ran flat 13's. GN engines are cool but a bit dated for my current tastes.

Nice work. 2jz, never a bad choice.

We're like twins in a way Anthony.. ;)

Saw this are Car Craft Nationals last week in MN. I didn't get a chance to look at it as much as I would have liked though (busy weekend) I did have a chance to talk to Dave the owner, very cool guy! I can't wait to see more of the car around this year. Definitely not the run of the mill car.

Except, mags like Car Craft and Hot Rod won't ink the car, Mopar purists are mad, and well I can go on.
With our little Scamp we attempted to blend cultures while saving the car
from the crusher. Smart is Justin's build as its tested and proven architecture.

Mopar purists should be thanking you for saving the car from the crusher. Unique build, digging it.
