1jz with 5spd runs for about 2000-2500. You can run it off stock computer till about 500rwhp and then you need a piggyback. So figure another 1000 there. Custom made driveshaft, engine mounts, and transmission mounts from a shop would run probably 1500-3000.
For a shop to do it, you are probably looking at 10K-15K easily.

His last activity on the site was in 2010, so don't expect a response from him.
Also the reason they don't give you a full step by step guide is they paid someone to do it. If you need the step by step guide, then you will probably be paying someone else to do it as well. I am sure there are 1jz rx7's, if you just want to see how someone would swap in that engine then look on rx7club.com as well just for a reference to how they could get it to run.
Two threads I found, and I know there are more. One is for a 2jz though.
