Russ,

You seem like a sensible guy!!!! I beg of you please dont put a v8 carburated chevy into your parts/doner car. To me, and I am sure many other Supra lovers, that would be like putting a Harley twin into a Suzuki Busa. Take what you need from the car and sell it to somone that needs it. Or part it out, some of us may need stuff you dont. Remember ebay is your friend. I dont want to sound like a jerk but no Supra deserves a Chevrolet fate. We spend most of our time trying to beat the chevy v8 at the track to have one invade our own is criminal.

Best of luck

Nothin wrong with chevy. I have 2 of em

But you could probably put a 1jz it it for the price of a 350 and 400 tranny. Lots of fab work im sure.

Well it is just an option and Chevy performance parts are so much cheaper too. And you know the old saying, "you can't beat cubic inches"! Nothing on the drawing board yet that is why I am asking about the transmissions. I know there is a lot of fabrication to be done, but this sort of stuff is being done all the time, modifying cars I mean. I have seen a 350 in a motorcycle and it looks pretty cool, expensive but very interesting and heavy too.
