Goes the story of EVERYONE who buy's a stock cressida/supra with the intentions of making it a daily. Blown headgasket - repair attempt - blown headgasket again, rod knock or both.

You need to be mor realistic. 1jz swap with 300 wheel horsepower and be happy. 2jzgte wih 350-400 wheel hp and be happy. My friends in Silverspring MD ( NTO Motorsports) can do the swap for you in no time. You must have money though.
