whats going on everyone just bought a 1985 supra and i love it but had lots of problems and just got a new problem. I rebuilt the whole top end of my motor all new gaskets everything then took it around the block and my clutch was burnt so i bought a 300 centerforce clutch. Took it around the block got a rod knock. Put some bearings in it drove it home rod knock came back. I originally wanted a 2jzgte swap but i work for my father at his repair shop and he told me we'll drive the car around for a little then put the 2jz into it but now i'm really pissed off cuz i spent 1500 total w/buying the car or more i don't know don't want to think about it really cuz i'm broke. But was reading that i could put a 7mgte in w/out motor mount modification and would be realively easy. I want to use my centerforce THREEHUNDREDDOLLAR clutch for at least a year not just two trips around the block so will the flexplate off a 5mge fit the 7mgte bolt pattern wise. any help appreciated if you want to just post that i am a dumbass please go ahead. just would like some1 to brighten my day and say hey u can put a 7mgte in it and use that clutch then i won't feel so bad.
