Might want to try repeating the question again... with some grammar sprinkled in.

i think he is asking for an opinion.
example:
i have an 86.5 non turbo supra, that i want to smash in a 1990 7mgte and electronics into. as well as trans., and rear diff. will i experience problems? or perhaps custom fabrication??

Thanks, CanadianBak'inSupra. I kind of thought that was the case but

Fix the '90, the swap's going to suck. If you're dead set on swapping then just plan on swapping EVERYTHING (including the dash and chassis wire harnesses). If you don't have everything I strongly recommend you consider getting a hold or pre89 wire harness and electronics for the engine.

There are a thousand little things which will make this project tiresome. If you can gut the '86.5 first and then literally install the parts from the '90 as you pull the from the '90 it'll go a bit easier but still expect snags and things you didn't realize were different: 89+ has different motor mounts, different oil pan, different cross member, 2 small electronic aux fans (which pre89 aren't wired for), GTE has a hidden electrical fan between the radiator and a/c compressor, GTE has an oil cooler.... etc...

actually I wanted crazyfj40 to reply but your welcome.

the swap is possible. but your car is going to be off the road for a while.:bigthumb:

Actually you are correct Canadian in that is what i was asking about. Being the redneck that i am i sometimes take the long way around to my questions lol. now that being said i did plan on the cars being down for awhile. i plan to gut the 86.5 first then start on the 90. The reason i dont put the 90 together is no title and i dont wanna fight with it
