Toyota Supra 1992 Rebuild engine?

[ngmc11]

I have a Toyota Supra 1992 with a blown gasket. The gasket has blown & rebuilt 2-3 times.

-Is it possible to restore the car? e.g. change the engine etc... make it like new.
-What's recommended to rebuild it? Someone told me they used Lexus v8 (1UZ-FTE). More power and no more blown gasket. I also have a Greddy Radiator, K&N Cold Air intake, and a turbo charger.
-Where would we go to do this? Are there people who specialize in rebuilding engines?
-What's the approximate cost to rebuild?

I would really appreciate your advice on this.

Given the relative rarity of the '92 Supra no way would I molest it by doing that engine swap, even to an engine which is arguably more reliable than the 7M.

If it was me, I'd do some serious research and question-asking to find someone or some shop in your general area who really knows what they're doing with the 7M or any engine with tolerances that tight. You don't say how many miles are on your engine, but for it to have blown the head gasket 2 or 3 times it likely wasn't maintained and/or rebuilt properly to begin with.

The cost to rebuild it is going to depend largely on what parts you want it rebuilt with as well as whatever the quality shop or individual you find charges you for the build. That all varies a lot, so I can't really give you a solid figure, but if you want it done right I'd say count on at least $2k + unexpected stuff.

But good luck with it in any case, and maybe someone from your region will chime in with a good rebuilder.

well the thing is for the price of rebuilding that engine your better off doing a swap. If you still plan on rebuilding I would do it yourself. Prices if you do it yourself will be around 1500 if you use good parts around 2000+ if you have a shop do it esp a performance shop your going around 4k+ and thats for cheap shit and them to do it wrong 90% of the time have it machined but do not let them bore out the cylinders they will try to do that to give you "more power" all your getting is weaker side walls. but any engine rebuild is gonna cost this one is even more being a 24 V straight 6. Id do the same type of engine if I did a swap or the japanese twin turbo if you wanna shell out big bucks.
