Lol
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. |

1987 Toyota MKIII Supra V8 Chevy 350 Swap
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.

1987 350 Chevy V8 Supra Build MKIII Conversion
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.

How to Build a V8 Powered Supra
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.

About other peoples post well this is a web site dedicated to the Toyota Supra and not hybrids. You could at least put a vacuum to car, fix the windscreen and do a better paint job. I would be embarrassed to bring her to a car show. Boot of the car is dirty.Well have fun always and be very careful driving your hafu. If you are driving hard it is the smallest things that go wrong. A tiny thing you have overlooked can get you and others killed. My bet is in a front end accident you are going to be kissing engine. I would not bet my life on a $400 set of engine brackets. Remember the engine transmission combo was designed by engineers and then crash tested. Again good luck and please clean her up a bit.
