I make the assumption that you've never heard of an LS1? LS2? LS6? LS7 is a big block, but either way it'd stomp a 1JZ. And get 18 miles to the gallon to boot. Besides, I have a 1970 Corvette 350 in my 79 Z28, and have YET to have lost a race. about 4.5k to 5 grand max invested, and I've torn up one MK3, several SRT4's, one WRX, one WRX STI. Moral of the story, ANYTHING can be fast. Good luck with the swap. If you're in Reno, I could offer my fabrication skills. |

ive seen a 85 supra with a 350 in it. he could hardly hold it on the road b/c it kept fishtailing. he had different mounts, battery relocated to the back, and chevy auto tranny. (w/ the stock auto shifter for a supra) lol it was soo funny. thats all i know about the car. the guy's dad built it so he didnt know anything about it. thats just what i could tell from looking at it for 30 minutes. it was CRAZY!!!!

Ive also seen datsun 240/280s like that(who hasnt), making me believe it would be easy in a supra. i have a video of a datsun with a paxton supercharger spinning wheels at highway speed. i wouldnt mind that

Fairly easy swap if you have the tools and skill needed for the job. Adapters available for W58 tranny and moter mounts available also...stock tranny and rearend "should" take up to 450hp...I have seen rock crawlers with 800hp with built W58 trans and they have few, if any problems...Good Luck, and please be careful in it when your goal is accomplished, it would be a shame to total her out after all that effort and elbow grease

We have a local guy with a vette motor in his tiny RX7. Unbelievable power from a very tiny, light car... I'd be interested in how this swap went for future thoughts of my own.
