Here are some basic plans thus far. They are obviously subject to change like everything in my life but this is sort of a guideline:
-Install Xcessive AC delete bracket and turnbuckle style tensioner
-Delete DBW with Driftmotion kit
-Install oil level sensor delete plate
-Seal upper and lower pan with FIPG
Install oil return hoses from modified set up
-Install Collins adapter and flywheel
-Mock up engine and trans and have my fabricator make me a trans brace
-Bitch and moan about my driveshaft not fitting even though I already know it wont
-Buy 1 piece DS
-Route fuel hoses
-Acquire MegaSquirt 3x and have my buddy make my harness
-Get it running
-Use 36" LS1 cable (thank you Press22)
-Plumb IC piping and install BOV
-Fab down pipe and exhaust 3" SS

I was at the shop dicking around and decided to start mess with the heater lines. Since I deleted my heater core, I will need to cap the heater inlet and outlet. I am not fond of capping anything on the cooling system. But after a discussion in the fb page "1jz and 2jz Powered BMWs" I will attempt to run them capped. It is to my understanding that this will act as if the heater is "off" so the heater core valve will not be open. I was going to route it so it bypassed the heater core but I'd rather cap it. When I get the engine running, I'm going to use a laser temp gun and see if cylinder 5 and 6 are running significantly hotter than the others. If so, I'll just route the line to the water outlet. Any suggestions?
And here's a nice pic of the daily and tow rig

2jz parts from Driftmotion came in. Rear sump pickup, gasket, and DM oil level sensor block off plate. Not sure if I mentioned this but I found out my lower 1jz pan (the one I'm using on the 2jz) is modified. Whoever did it did a very good job cutting and welding. Should be getting a new lower pan today from a buddy, then it's time to seal the oil pan and focus on getting the engine in the car.

The lower pan has a section cut out of it and welded to clear what I think was some sort of crossmember. Not entirely sure. The baffle was also cut. Luckily, my buddy's friend had a rear sump set up laying around so I snagged it. The bottom end is all sealed up with FIPG. I ordered some blue textile reinforced high temp hose for the oil return lines to the pan then I start saving up for the Collins adapter plate and flywheel. After I get those ordered and installed, I'll get a new clutch disc (unsprung) and start modifying my DSSR, trans mount, and DS.
In terms of driveshafts, I think I'm going to have my buddy (profession fabricator) cut a section out of the front shaft and weld it together. I understand it won't be balanced but it'll work for the time being.

Just got my 5/8" Blue Textile High Temp hose for my oil return lines from the turbos. This stuff looks promising!

So after buying 5/8 hose and then 3/4 hose, they were both too small for the oil return tubes. I sourced out oil rated 7/8" hose and it fits perfect. Although the outside is silicone, the internal material is rated for oil. Actually meant for turbo oil return for an older Cummins engine.
