    Just got a 2JZ-GTE for literally free. Better to just sell it and pocket the money or keep it for one day when my stock engine is finished and swap it in? Currently have the 2010 2.7l 5 speed 5 lug.

    Swap it in, or sell it to fund a turbo kit for your 2TR.

    And if you have to, overnight parts from Japan.

    I would sell it personally, I'm workign on my hoarding issues and trying to get rid of projects and not take them on. i find that it helps my stress level a lot. Also realized at this point in my life, if i have a new hobby or project, i only want to take it on if i have the final money to finish it and the vacation time/free time. Then again, 2JZ is my favorite engine and i would love to swap it into something. the question really depends on a lot of your personal factors, shop space, mechanical ability, funds. etc. last i checked 2Js were going for good money. did you get a trans with it?
