Supra V-8 conversion
 

So i went to an auto show the other day and i seen a supra with a engine conversion. he had a ford v-8 in it. Is there anybody else here who has seen one like that or maybe you have one urself? What do u guys think about changing to a completely different motor? Just thought it was interesting.
thnx.

i personally don't like it. i prefer sticking with the 7mge, 7mgte, etc.

here is a pic of another twin turbo v-8 swap off of suprastore

I just posted a new trhead on this topic, ecxept that I want to plant an LT1 from a camaro z28 or firebird. let me know or read my thread.

As soon as you put a GM motor (or any other US motor) in your Supra it is no longer a Supra but just a piece of crap.

Spend the time and money on a good MKIII and develope it for more HP if you must OR put an MKIV twin turbo motor in it. Probably less trouble and a 10 times better piece of machinery.

OR...put the GM in it, paint the car with some nice NASCAR colors and sponsers, crack yourself a budweiser, grow a mullet, and admire the nicest car in the trailer park.

hey bro im against the chevy powered supra too, or any import/domestic swap, but you dont need to go so far as to call someone a redneck... for god sake man the one lives in the dominican replublic... which just makes you look like a dumbass. as for the idea, im against it but the fact that you have already done it is impressive and i wouldnt mind seeing the pics of it

Yeah, this is the one topic that really gets people going!

I think if you do a neat job at it, then that is what will determine if you did a good job of doing such a conversion.

Their are valid reason why one should do a conversion such as:
I had a car that needed a motor and a motor that I have had, so I combined them.

But then again, I personally hate the sleepy eye look in a way you can't imagine, so I can also see how some people can hate some changes.
I just try to keep my remarks valid, civil, and watch the implications I make.

WOW...I guess I kinda stirred the pot.

My comments about NASCAR, bud, and trailer parks simply intended to convey my feeling that a GM engine in a Supra downgrades the car. I prefer to think of the Supra in the same light as F1 or SCCA and Rolex series, not NASCAR or Saturday night dirt ovals.
All cars are good and fun and all forms of racing are good and fun.
But, my point is, once you put a GM motor in a Supra it is no longer a Supra, but now a kit car.

I never called anybody a redneck (not that there's anything wrong with that) or a dumb ass. Only a dumb ass would say that.
