JDM 6MGE engines avilable

isn't the power potential much greater for the 7m? they are both 3 litres but the 7m is stronger..

plus parts are much easier to get for 7m than 6m..

and the wiring harness really isn't that big of a deal, its soldering 30 or so connections, cant think of the exact number off my head.

For those not great with wiring, 30 or so connections is like brain surgery.

The 6m is pretty much drop in. You may have to change intakes out if you have emissions testing in your area.

I'm a new member to this forum. I have a 1985 Supra with the 5MGE engine. So you're saying that the 6MGE is a no brainer to swap out? I'm OK right now, but mine does have 287,000+ miles on it, and if I need to swap out I was thinking of goung with the 7MGE. Is it only a matter of the harness for this engine? That would seem the best way to go if that's the case.
