backwards engine swap

Andrew1122 · 06-11-2009, 03:59 PM

I have a 1986.5 toyota supra. the engine in it is toast, very low compression and worn out. needs a complete rebuild. I got a 1988 toyota cressida with a 5mge 2.8L I6 in it with only 136km on it. i dont see why it wouldnt work other then the alternator and distributor being in the wrong spots. does anyone know if the older 5mge engine will fit a newer supra? ive had no luck finding a 7mge engine and i just want the car back on the road. Thanks!
