BUYING a FIREDAMAGED MKIII

Supra Saiyan · 07-09-2010, 03:05 AM

My plan is to get the fire damaged supra turbo and perform an engine swap using another 7mgte (with bad bearings). I will if possible, use the bearings from the fire damaged supra. The fire damaged supra has a much more straight body than my current N/A supra. This will save me money when I go to paint it, instead of paying for dent removal as well.

I will then sell my 1988 supra n/a for what it's worth. An call it a day...

Possibly I will have the 7mgte I am swapping in professionally maintained before the swap (Cleaned up, machined, whatever). Is that expensive? If someone could at least list the main things to get cleaned up before I drop it in. That would be great. I am on a budget..
(Headgasket? 2mm?? 3mm??)
Remember, my power goal is 350hp in the end..

Anyone think this is a good idea.? Any suggestions.? Adjustments.?
