V8 engine swaps

that could be about the dumbest engine swap i have ever heard of. why would you put a NON toyota engine in your supra? you wanna do a swap? do a 1JZ swap in. i think that could be the dumbest idea i've heard of in a long time.

Its not that hard if you can weld and fabricate..Youll have to make some new motor mounts and posibly new rear crossmember for the tranny..I dont think you can reuse the original tranny so youll have to get either a chrysler 727 to fit..And to answer the why do a V8 swap is dodge 318 average price $300 a good working 1 or 2JZ $1200 min..Anymore questions..Good luck on the swap man..
