But if you are sending a block out for machine work, having the crank collar machined, throwing in rods, pistons and studs.... why would you not spend the extra $50 on an upgraded head-gasket?

Like I said - if he is having the head decked then go for it, otherwise the stock HG seals much better when things aren't perfectly flat, and is not a weakness at 500hp.
Also, with the 2JZ, the only way you are even coming close to the cost of the RB swap is a 2JZ from a non Supra chassis, and throwing an R154 tranny behind it. The R154 is not a bad transmission, but it is definitely the weak link in the pairing. 6-speed Getrag, get outta here, you got another 6 grand for the transmission?
And it's fine that you'll pass. Those of us who would like to keep a Nissan a Nissan can deal with that. I won't lose any sleep over it.
P.S. jared420sx needs to go smoke a fatty and forget this whole internet thing exists.
