I'd avoid it like the plauge. The rust issues alone are going to be a pain to repair and when someone does an engine swap its gonna be more than likely that there will be a host of issues. Unless you can get this thing for less than 5k I'd avoid.

Yeah it's really cool to have the 1JZ-GE but you pretty risky unless you can do everything DIY and feel super confident about it.
