im set on a 2jz because supras were my passion. just mk4's are expensive. and mk3's are highly uncommon in good condition. so my friend jsthavok got me into the silvia family mainly s14's are my ideal car. but i got ideas. went a lil crazy (in my mind of course) so now i have so much plans lol. basically i see sil80's and s15 front 180sx. so y not take the s14 front put it on a 240sx and add a lil of my passion to it a 2jz. ive loved supras since before i knew anything bout cars.

Just letting you know, an S14 with a 2J is nothing like a supra. Ive driven 1J S14s and mkIVs and they feel completely different.

Hell if you are set do it. Anything can be done with the right amount of money. It seems as if a lot a fab work will need to be done so how are you with welding/turning wrenches? How about wiring? Who is going to do that for you? If you want it do it, just do as much research as possible before you tear into it.

well i have no problem if they feel different bro ill get used to the way the car drives. and about the work done when i get to that level ill do my research for the engine swap front end swap and possibly slightly wider rear fenders to match that of the s14 kouki. but im not worried bout that yet. and as for turning wrenches i fix planes for a living. lol much more challenging than any car. and welding ive my share of training but ill leave it to pros and as for money i wont be concerned with it as long as im happy with the work thats done.

Alright, thats cool. Its just that if you say supras are your thing, you basically are gonna have to deal with the headache of finding a clean 240 and its a bit of a less robust chassis.

Your not gonna be running the 6 speed unless you want to cut the trans tunnel, it will have to be the r154 which could break. Intercooler piping is a concern. Like to weld aluminum?

Your gonna be into this 15k+, but thats realistic and done right.

They actually make bolt on kits for 2jz into an s14. It's really not all that difficult of a swap anymore. Mounts, driveshaft, plug and play wiring, shifter extension, intercooler piping, modified radiator can all be purchased and require no modification.

So your an airplane mechanic who can't afford a supra this makes zero sense to me
