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.

It doesnt matter if you think its stupid, so dont rag on him for it. Its his car. The reason he wanted to put a v8 in is cause he has the supra already, And wants a bigger motor. Its that simple. And the chassis is perfectly capable of handling the extra rotational force. If that is too much for the car, It would have broken long ago with the 7m motor. That is probably the last thing i would worry about breaking. Maybe the rear end, half shafts, Rear suspension, Things like that.
