Northern Illinois help?

XtreeX · 03-28-2006, 01:04 AM

Hey guys I'm looking for someone who has done a engine swap on teh 90' supra and who lives somewhere near the northern illinois area. I'm currently in Rockford and will be doing a swap 7mge > 7mgte.

My mechanic wants to charge $800 for the labor. Is this a good price? Otherwise I would like to have the help from someone who knows what they're doing.

Lemme know what you guys think on the price of that for labor costs. And also email me at xiaoxiao@insightBB.com if you live near Rockford,IL and are willing to help. Thanks!

Actually thats a really good price. Its usually ~1250 to swap it in.

check for threads on the swap. There's more to it than just swapping the engine. Like wire harness, ECU, MAF/AFM, some exhaust changes, etc. etc. etc.

Yea i know about all the other parts. I have the list(s). I dont think my mechanic has ever done a 7MGTE swap before. Maybe a same engine swap, but i dont think a different engine. Plus if i could have someone whos done it before then that would be great. I would like to partake in the event as well if possible

Guys. I found this front clip with a 1jz engine. This would be everything i need right?
