yeah... i still think your destroying your supra. its got a reputation and you are pretty much shatting on it with your 350 conversion. and doing the head gasket isnt really that bad. its just time consuming and you have to know what your doing. i guess if you dont know what your doing, you just throw in a 350! lol

am I the only guy here who thinks Automatic trans in these cars are for wussies and old ladies? I understand for drag racing they are faster (sometyimes) but for me - the shifting makes the drive! We have turned 3 of these things into road race cars (sort of - 24 hours of Lemons) and our only 2 criteria - manual trans and rear wheel drive so the supra fits - - why? because it's fun to drive!

i agree with kwnate, an ls series would be tits in a supra, but that would be pretty much the only "non-toyota" motor i would put in it. snoretec is gay.

. im gonna love when you pull up to another supra, and it shits on you.

The shifter is bolted down. Made a metal cover for where the original shifter is mounted. Then, some brackets, metal plates, and a few welds to secure the shifter. Running a B&M Mega Shifter with the 4 speed Auto.

This 350 Vortec / 700R4 combo pushed my 1984 Corvette to 12.8 at 108mph in the 1/4 mile. That with it's 2.73 rear axle ratio and the Vette's 3300 curb weight. The Supra has a 4.30 Rear axle ratio but the dreaded open diff. Be looking to swap that out later for an lsd G30 or 31. The lower axle ratio and the nearly identical weight should duplicate or beat my Vette's et.
