Wrong, an LS series motor would be sweet. A vortec 350 in a supra is lame.

Good luck, post some vids when you're done.

I'll try and reconfigure the pics soon or change my camera settings. I can't get them to upload as the file must be too big. Comes up as a file upload error on the manage attachments after it attempts upload.

The car is a solid roller only needing a front windshield glass and paint. Will receive a gloss black paint job and a red stripe from the front of the hood all the way back down the middle. Oh yea, the paint job will be cheap as well. $75 roller job. 8 -10 thin coats of rustoleum with a 4 inch foam roller (did I mention this project is being done on the CHEAP!). Prep for paint will take me another day or two.

Has like new Z rated 16" tires on it and a nice complete interior. Has less than 100k on the odometer. So it's a decent base.

Say this project will be lame, yea... but effective.

i seriously felt bad for you they way people were bashing your motor idea, BUT PAINTING WITH A ROLLER, NOW THATS LAME. you should just buy a bicycle or something. sorry dude, but there is a difference between being "cost effective" and plain old "CHEAP".

Vacationtime247 · 02-20-2009, 04:38 AM

I'm ain't gonna just slather paint on there like some idjit.

No, the rustoleum has to be thinned with mineral spirits. Get it to a milk / melted ice cream consistency and go over the whole car 8-10 times allowing time for proper drying. First, the engine needs to come out. Then sand and smooth it out good. Then, I'll go over it one coat a night. Wish it would warm up at least to 40* - 50* so it wouldn't be so bone chilling outside.

This car will take some time to do. But it'll be something I've done and created. I don't have a spray gun to paint it, I don't have a Toyota engine to put in it, I don't have endless amounts of cash to throw at it either. What I do have is time, patience and the know how to put this car together to work for me. But hey, if any one of you wants to put this car together for me or donate a 400hp Toyota engine, bring it!

Roller paint job? Vortec v8? $1500 for people to laugh at you 'till they wet themselves? There's got to be a cheaper way to screw up a Supra!

Why not a gallon of gas and a match?

Good luck!

mastergrader007 · 02-20-2009, 08:27 AM

you can buy a basic siphon feed paint gun for about 20 bucks. or if you have the cash, it bout 100bucks for a nice gravity fed gun. anyway, i think your in for a world of screwing around and jimmy riggin everything. but hey, im sure it will be one of a kind and you'll need a big stick to beat the ladies off of ya.

Supra2NR · 03-13-2009, 04:41 PM

hey all, ive been out of these forums since i got into bikes, but as a supra person that kept his car resting in his garage,,,

i still find it funny, when i read the post here,,

and yeah lame idea on the chevy motor
but, and thats a big butt, i do feel ur pain, resurecting a dead 7m isnt the best idea or the most fun,
i see other pples point about sticking to toyota motors, but hey
ive been doing that and my car is still dead,

so A for the effort, but F for the thought

anyways good luck with your build my friend let us know what happens

I have to part with my Supra. But only for a day. It's going to the local Chassis / Welding / Performance shop tomorrow. Going to weld in the mounts and make a transmission crossmember. Once it's welded down tight, it's only a matter of bolt ons and hook ups. Whooo Hoooo!!!

Somethin' like this....

Know what's worst of all? Posting this on the internet with 'how to' instructions. One goal with the motor and mounts is to make it bolt it friendly. Make a few extra sets and sell them online or give the specs out free to those who can weld. That and where to cut for the transmission. There's a lot of Supra's out there with bad motors or the usual BHG. They're doing it with the RX7's, nows the time for the MKIII swap too.
