Used Supra engines from Japan. Are they OK?

Why not just cut the middle man and replace it with a 1JZ they have no problems with head gaskets and plus the beauty of 11 PSI from the factory and a metal head gasket to boot. You can put 18 PSI through the stock turbos for a whilw before the fail and the motor can handle 700+ without internal mods. Plus being that you have a 91 then you got the right crossmember and they usually run about the same price as what you are looking at.
