Just replaced my old 1st gen with a much prettier one...

However I just blew up the 22RE the owner swapped in (years ago)

So I am coming to the juncture where I have to decide:

1. Rebuild the original 22RE (he gave me the original stripped down to the short block)
2. Rebuild the original and build it up
3. My friend/mechanic just picked up a 2JZ inline 6 thats in pretty good shape. I can build that up and swap it in if I want

Anyone else swap a 2JZ? My friend seems pretty confident it'll go pretty easy. He's got a full shop.
