Default Where should i start?

hey, whats up guys, new to the forums. and i need some advice.
i just purchased an 86.5 (157k miles) and 87 (227k miles) supra.

the 86 is in terrible condition but the motor runs,seemed to be lacking power but could be clutch. vibrates alot also. and the 87 is very clean in and out but has low compression in 3 cylinders. and somthing with 2nd gear weraing out often. so i towed it home.

my question is, 1) should i rebuild the motor using the 86, 2) swap the two motors, and/or tranny or 3) just buy a motor and just junk the 86?

thank you, any advice is appreciated.

You bought two cars and didn't know what you were going to do with them? Apparently not married I suppose if I were in your place I'd resell the '86 and rework to '87. Mabey one will pay for the other

Build the 87, keep the other for parts. 87 will be worth more when you are done.
