But all of the major parts are interchangeable with any JZ series engine, which is hardly "crazy ass JDM" as it came in no less than 4 ToyLexA models. As a matter of fact, everything but the rods, crank, timing belt, injectors, MAP sensor and intake/exhaust manifold gaskets are interchangeable.

Yeah, they have a machine shop. Julie's dad had his Ford F-150's block and head done by CarQuest in Winchester, and a guy who owns no less than 3 Packards and races Antique cars said that unless I "wanted to do something crazy" that CarQuest would do as good a job as any.
On another note, the Volvo broke down today. My initial prognosis is that I've busted a coolant hose, but only further research will tell and I'm freaking tired.
Would someone like to help me overload my C++ input operators for a user-defined data type? If I finish that, I can rest. And I need it.
