The car companies go through a lot of effort in designing their cars. They do not just drop an engine into a car. There are a lot of things to thing about. It could be dangerous to do your own design without engineering support. Thus is the main reason for my dislike. I would be against putting a Supra engine into a Camero.

This thread is almost depressing to read.... partly because everybody is bashing on this guy, and partly because of what hes doing to his Supra...

I admire how he continues to post up and push through his project despite the hate from everybody towards it, and I also admire his way of cheaply getting a dead car back to life. HOWEVER, I can see how swapping in an inferior engine and a roller paint job could be a great and cheap way to fix up an old toyota CAMRY but it kind of hurts me inside to see that being done to a SUPRA.

On the bright side, at least this means that another supra shell will be actually used and hopefully maintained opposed to sitting and rusting/breaking down in somebody's garage or yard.

Not done yet! Trying to include all the areas people question. Like how the engine plates are made. How to mount the transmission. How to build the driveshaft. Hope some of these pics help the next person.

This build can be done quick. Only part I had to source out was the welding which cost me $400 and have the driveshaft built, $130.

The engine and tranny are securely fastened in there as you can see from the pics. When it's opened up at WOT this thing is nasty.

Guess I worry too much but that comes with being an aviation mechanic. The smallest things can get you killed. I do like what you did in the engine compartment. A little more work and it would look "factory". Oh how do you fit the air filter on the carb? It looks like a tight fit to me.
