ouch man, well i am 70-80% of the way through the 1j conversion into a GZ20. i believe the best way to do the conversion is still buy a JZA70 halfcut and swap crossmembers, motors and gearboxes over. i have been told that that is the easiest way but mine did not work out to be as simple as all that :-( i ended up with a normal crossmember instead of the jza70 which i was "sold" so that went out the window. what i have had done is the old mounts ground off and new mounts welded into the right position for the 1jz. the gearbox was not a problem postion wise just the bellhousing clutch pressure plate had to be changed and yes "away you go" BUT wiring seems to be an absolute pig. noone in my area has any idea of how to do it or even the best way to look at it, so that has been the most major dilemna but hopefully soon *crosses fingers* i will be able to drive the beast and then i will try and supply a break down of the costing of the conversion post up pics and maybe even some dyno figures and 1/4 mile times. and gav i sure hope it feels better then my 1G did because it hasn't been cheap. and congratulations on your ride man it turned out quite well! :D
