Engine swap to a V-8

asjustice · 01-12-2005, 12:00 AM

I have a 1988 Supra with a blown engine. Does anyone have experience with the installation of a Detroit V-8 (GM 350, Mopar 383/440, or Ford 360 etc)? Thanks for any help you can provide

i haven't personally had experience with them but v8's have been transplanted

hopefully someone else on here has a bit of extra info for ya

This probably doesn't help you but it seems that a couple of guys have put 308 Holden V8s into the Mk2. Heres a link:

Oz Supra
Just go to the 'Reader's Rides' section

Might be of interest anyway.

were in the same boat dude. i'm wanting to do the same thing but not getting much help on here.

even though its powered by a american v-8 its still a supra. seems to be a good idea. i used to know of a few places that made things like motor mounts and things like that. the shit has slipped my mind and now i'm wanting to do the swap i cant find anything on the net. i have found a guy who did a v-8 TT swap it was all custom though. so he isnt much of a help.

a lot of people here love the supra
meaning they are purist
a supra should be kept a supra
from inside and out

but its ur car, u can do anything u want with it
but if ur goinf for power, why not put the 2jz engine in
not a v8 but can definitely run a lot of ponies

the most that i have seen was a 1200 hp one

hey, my supra's 7mge blew up on my way home from getting it, and my dads a big mopar guy, and he has a few mopar 360's in his garage, one is built to the balls, and he felt bad for me and said if i kind out more info he will help me try to swap it in? does anyone know what kind of work this entails, or has anyone done it, im not finding anything on the internet about it, and the reason im wanting to do this to my supra is because for me to get parts for a 7mge when it acts up or a jz i will have to order the parts, if something goes bad on a 360 my dad has like 4 more that he can snag parts from, and i think it would make a unique car
