Damm, this is awesome. Subscribed for build.

ahhh from the king himself.Dude it's sick, congrats. Props for doing all the parts collecting yourself, you'll save hella $$ that way. As I said before, feel free to PM me with any questions you may have.
i wish i could have a build as sick as a build as yoursHave you ported the lower runners and heads yet?
..adding that 3.7 mani and bigger T/B will yield minimal gains w/o porting the rest of the top end. You need to open the heads up on these J series.
So, if it is in your budget/means, have that pNp work done.
Nice man. You got a lot of parts pretty quickly. You would save more money doing the swap yourself.
The difference between your and mine is, mines a complete manual swap with a J35a4 and all 03 CL-s 6spd parts (engine harness, ecu, trans, shifter, m/c, clutch, dual mass flywheel, clutch lines, crank and cam sensors, front cam pulley, cams, timing crank pulley). The reason I went with all the 03 CL-s parts is so I wouldn't have to run Richies module. Don't get me wrong Richie is a genus with his module but, if something happens, I want to be able to go to the dealer or junkyard and buy the part I need.
Here's what the J35a4 with the 09' TL sh-awd manifold looks like. (maybe a little motivation for others doing a swap)
