LS swap.

 

Can you elaborate

 

What do you mean my budget, skill level or what you gotta be specific

 

Everything.

 

My guy can I or can I not put a 1jz in my Camry that’s all I want to know

 

That answer is up to what you can do.

 

My guy it was a simple yes or no question that requires a simple yes or no answer

 

Yes and no. It depends on what you can do.

 

I have the ability to do it I just want to know if it’s compatible

 

If you have the ability to do it than you should already have your own answer.

Anything can be done with enough money.

The 1JZ engine is used in RWD platforms. So the first question is; do you intend to convert to RWD or keep it FWD? RWD would entail cutting up the floor pan and fabricating a tunnel for the drive shaft. Then making a home for the diff. And custom drive shafts. And custom rear wheel hubs to take them.

If staying with FWD, what FWD transmission would bolt up to a 1JZ? I doubt one exists. So now you need adapters for mounting one. But which? And would the motor even fit crosswise in the engine bay? Being an in-line 6, it’s a long motor.

In the end, you’ll likely have $50k invested in a Camry that’s worth what?... $10k??? On a good day? Not a concern if you’re gonna keep it forever. But wouldn’t you rather spend $50k on a nice Supra? Instead of a cobbled together Camry?

 

Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for and thank you for taking time out of your day to explain this

 

Buy a piece-of-crap gen1 IS. Most of them have been beaten to hell in the hands of kids anyway, it'll be a lot cheaper than swapping a JZ into a Camry

 

For THAT kind of money (and I do believe he's undershooting it, ESPECIALLY. if the OP has to farm out ANY work), buy a new damn near anything!!

 

Think about 2gr engine , will be easier and high performance.
