well is ur 87 in good condition already if so i would stay with the 87 buh i think the 89+ is better i know a supra fanatic dats has a 1jz in his 91 or was it 92 supra with a custom Intercooler and hes frame holds the power hes pushing aorund 350 and his bro has a 92 supra with a 2jz motor pushing 500 and they have no problem with the body at all so i say to go with the 89+ unless u love ur 87...and or get a good 89+ and sell the motor and use that cash to help pay for the 1jz swap....hope that helps and doesnt confuse you

if money is tight i wouldnt even think of a motor swap. but if money aint a problem then ok. the thing with the 1jz is the limited aftermarket support, its hard to find parts out there. if you got money falling outa your pockets, you got a shop you can take it too, and you have alot of experience working on motors and such then the 2jz would be what you want, but if you got money to throw around im sure you wouldnt be fiddleing with a mkiii. point is i would suggest sticking to the 7m

thats true
the 7m and the 1jz are almost close to each other that the conversion wont even be that much 2jz is the way to go (if you have money) if not stick with the 7m its not a bad engine only the headgasket but inline6 doesnt stink

thats cold
why dont list sum of the mods that you got so the rest of us will get an idea what we need to do? when your running high horses like that, did you get a mhg?(assuming you did already) but does it still blow?

hey guys one more major question can the 7mgte hang with the big boys..such as the 2jz and the corvets and mustang and sti's in a drag race cuz if so i think ima save me alot of money and keep the 7mgte and or just go cheap and swap the block for a 3.0 liter and make a ghetto version of a 2jz type set up
