Default 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.

Default 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.

Suppose you did a ok job raping Supra. It is disturbing for me to see pictures like yours. 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.

Alright, I think that's about enough bashing on him....

The whole point of the forum is to share, help, and connect with other supra owners. Vacationtime247 shared something he thinks is a cool idea, and presented it in a way that someone else in his situation could replicate it.

If you still feel the need to share your opinion about how much you dislike a SBC in a Supra, then feel free to go to the "Off Topic Forum", start a new thread, and share it there.

I think any future posts that aren't beneficial to this topic will disappear...

Here is a video of my trip to the Indianapolis Winged Warrior competition (Indy2K). Several MKIII Supras showed up, a few MKII's and 1 MKIV. Also attached is a video on how I'm planning on painting the Supra. Yea, it's a cheasy method on painting and it'll have some orange peel. But it can be done for less than $80 and the paint is easy to repair.

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.
