my mk3 86.5 na supra has a weird gurgling noise coming from the dash on startup. it also seems to run hot after about 20 mins of driving, but the gauge only sits at halfway. i am not losing any coolant or oil, and the two arent mixing together, however the coolant tends to bubble sometimes. on occasion the idle seems to slightly surge as well, but returns to normal after a bit of a rev. is my engine stuffed?
if it is i plan to swap the engine for a 7mgte, is this the best option?
thanx in advance for any help

Best option would be a 1jzgte---I am getting ready to replace my head gasket for the second time in my 7mgte---first rebuild by a professional only lasted 5000 miles with a Titan motorsports 1.4mm metal head gasket and ARP bolts torqued to 87ft/lbs. Look around for sites that sell clips---you will need a couple of items to make this work----(bell housing, longer wiring harness, longer throttle cable and a high pressure power steering hose to start---maybe a crossmember if you car is prior to 89----) the 1jz is only 2.5 liters, but twin turbo and several parts from the 2jz are interchangeable----and they will scream!!
