Well I was thinking, Do you guys think dropping a 2jz-gte motor into an FD is worth it. Wouldn't the car be a bit more reliable then having but, I'm just looking 4 some of the forum members opinions. Since I might be doing this conversion.

The conversion will never make fiscal sense. The slight increase in reliability will never add up enough to offset the cost of the conversion. Just buy a supra.
Its been done, but they were just doing it for *****...

It was done ONCE, and only done once because nobody else is dumb enough to try it.
Too much money. Why switch out a 13B for a 2JZ when a 13B has more potential (in an FC or FD) for more types of races? It just doesn't add up.
