My 89 Supra

ahh you lucky boy. Keep us posted. Im gonna try to find a 2jz to put in my 89. If you can take pictures of each step in changing the engines would be great.

oh im pretty sure that there is going to be an overabundance of pictures! i'll probably have the motor in my possession within the next two weeks depending on when i get my tax return. the thing that concerns me about the motor is that he said it knocked a little bit before he took it out (which can be a bunch of different things) and how much horsepower he was running on stock internals. he stated that he was running around 500 horsepower before he took out the motor. im thinking a complete tear down is going to be necessary when i get it. other than that, the only things i need now is a good CT-26 and a R154 tranny!

the old motor is finally coming out on tuesday! im going to see what is still usable from the old motor. pictures will be up of the motor coming out and the damage from the thrown rod shortly after it is pulled out!

Nice, will be waiting, i just noticed that the first picture of your car on the trailer, the hood is up. Did you drive it home with the hood up?

no, we took the pressure washer to the car when we got it back. i didnt have the patience to take it off of the trailer before i started cleaning it up! it dumped oil all down the guys driveway that i bought it from and on the trailer itself. gotta love thrown rods

This is what happens when you don't torque down rod caps properly

HEAD!

Heres the block completely stripped down! well, for the most part.
