yes, But you can literally get an aftermarket upgrade for every single part in an american motor. Thats what im saying. Theres so many parts for esepcially the chevy 350 and ford 302, That either of those can be a badass motor for little $

Exactly. My dad is putting a 347 stroker motor (based off of a 302) in a 944 porsche. But he was first looking at a LS1 (Chevy 350).

Im hoping that my swap goes well cause im putting a 427 stroker (based off of a ford 351) in my 87 supra. And its not going to be bad in price cause you can find domestic parts anywhere.

Whats the weight of that engine compared to the supra? I had a freind who put a 302 in a mustang 2 that had a 4 cylinder and his suspension and handling went out the window.
You need to consider how it will handle with all that extra weight and what to beef up the suspention with because I doubt toyota designed the suspension and subframe to handle a big block.
351 windsor aprox 510 pounds
351 cleveland aprox 550 pounds

i havent really thought about it but there is a multitude of things i can do to make the engine as light as possible and im only going from a v-6 to a v-8. but that might be one thing i will consider. thanks for the info.

yeah but i heard that the toyota v-6 are damn heavy though. So a v-8 shouldnt be such a big jump especially if i get alluminum heads and flywheel. Also there are many other things i can do to get closer to a 50:50 weight. i can put the batteries in the back. I'm putting twin turbos on so i will put both of them in the back of the car, etc. So i should be in pretty good shape.

ummm....what I meant by my last comment is only NOOB toyota owners refer to them as V6.....seeing as its NOT a "V"6 at all, rather its a I6 or more specifically a DOHC 24V I6


its kinda a pet peave of mine, I see ads for supra's all the time that say V6 and I suspect the owner knows nothing of their car.
