i will take one ignition module from the original supra, i am willing to pay $50 for one, if this sounds good then let me know, but i cannot go any higher

I always thought the LT1 corvette motor I have would be cool in my 83 Supra but taking measurments I do not think you can get the oil pan to clear the steering and front suspension.

If you really wanted some power and torque out of a supra, drop in a 427 stroked out from a 351. For 6k you can get a turnkey 5.8 bored and stroked to 427 with 500+ HP. Throw in a 4 speed manual or a C6 auto and you got a tire smoker.

if you really wanted a car with a v8, buy a muscle car then. a supra is meant to house a I-6 motor and that's what makes them. Unlike everybody else they used that instead of a V6. My idea is, if you have an american block, put it in an american car. And if you wanted a big V8 in the first place, why did you buy the supra? Think about it, then realize how stupid this is. Oh and by the way, one thing no one mentioned, the amount of piston power from the V8 making it move from side to side, would probally rip the chassis in peices, so you'd need either some NICE chassis mounts, or just say fuck it.

The purpose behind any custom car is to be unique. The purpose behind any racecar is to have high power to low weight. A MKII Supra weighs 3000 pounds, while a Muscle cars usually weight 2 tons or more. A Supra with the same engine as a muscle car would be much faster than a muscle car. The I-6 is nothing special, just a slightly tuned version of an engine configuration origianaly designed for Indy Racers. The V configuration is highly superior to that of the Inline configuration, which is why Toyota went with the V configuration for the later cars. Either way, anything done to any car to make it unique is good in my book.

understandable, but an american motor does not belong in a japaneese car. many other japaneese motors are pushing a whole lot more then any american engine. americans think big is always better. hell the new impala has a 5.7 litre V-8, but only 303 hp. subaru can use a 2.5 litre I4 to put out the same numbers as that. its stupid and a waste of time. and if you knew anything an I6 always had more torque then any V6 could have. the reason the V was made was for more even fuel distribution. with fuel injection, an I6 is more practical if you have the givin space

American motors are always superior in HP and torque than any Japanese motor. A Chevy 350 is capable of over 1200HP with BOLT-ON mods costing under 10 grand. A Japanese engine requires 10's of thousands of dollars worth of parts to equal that performance. If your looking for maximum power and minimum cost. An american V8 is far superior.

ssaskiksubucni · 06-24-2006, 10:09 PM

1200? HAH funny cars and F1 cars have a hard time putting out those numbers, and thier running 8 second quarter miles. you mean to tell me that a SMALL block chevy is able to do that? also, that 350 is wieghing in at over 1000 lbs. its stupid, dont bother. if your not contempt with the car, then sell it and buy something else. Mr.Ford here has his heart set so i wont argue anymore
