Thats great hand and it has absolutely nothing to do with an engine swap.

To answer a previous Q. No. the w series drive train will not work with either the 1j or any gt series engine.
330 hp would be nice in a supra. But if that's all you want.
Turboing may not be the solution. Because it will create more like 400 hp.

I guess you can go with something smaller than a t26 to get you close to your goal hp.

Wiring harness, ecu. You will be needing to get the right gear for your engine series.

The blown head gasket or bhg as we call it. Has either already happened or will happen soon after you put some miles on it.

If you mechanic it yourself. 2grand and some extra new parts. arp studs. walbro fuel pump. msd blastercoil. msd wired, iridium plugs. k&n filter.
Eibach springs and some tems capable shocks. The the body work and paint.

But all of that comes after you get her running. 88 means you can interchange some parts from 87 to 89. Same basic pattern for that model.

You won't hit 330 hp on an N/a car. But you can get close to 300hp Wich is decent given the sled that she'll be.
