Edit - I recently went down a YT rabbit hole where these shop guys dropped a JZ2 Supra motor in a 95 4X4 T4R and got it putting out 1000-1200 HP (the motors have been pushed to 2000 HP apparently). They drove all night and day to a drag racing event, switched the ATs for slicks and ran in the 9s. Most of the drag cars were trailered there, but they pulled their trailer with the race gear with the 4Runner. LOL

I forget who it was but there's a user on here that was swapping a 2JZ-GTE into his 4Runner while also making it fully armored and reinforced - as is "removing all glass and replacing it with sheet steel, and removing/replacing all crossmembers". Ironically a 2J swapped 4Runner was my dream for a while - but I hate turbos and the n/a GE model wouldn't be much more to scoff at in a 4000lb SUV - a supercharger and 7th injector would be much better decision in that regard
It's kinda funny because 2J fanboys will all try and tell you that they're capable of 2000hp but coincidentally all of them will omit how literally every last part is custom at that level from the block up, to the point it's practically just a 2J in spirit. The blocks have been known to handle 1000hp on more than one occasion but even that's starting to push it; and the only way one can hope to achieve double that is with a billeted and bored out block, E85 conversion, bigger turbos (maybe even a 3rd or add a blower too), completely reworked valvetrain, bigger/custom trans, the full nine. At that point is it
really still a 2J, if everything has been replaced and altered? To an extent that'd be like Rob Dahm trying to pass off his billet 4 Rotor as a 13B
