It RUNS AND DRIVES! YAAA HOOOEY! Man does this thing have some low down torque. 1st gear is way to low though. I'll be switching out the 4.33 open diff for a 3.73 LSD unit soon. Still need the...

Fixing the throttle cable isn't that hard to fix, but might be difficult to find a replacement. When I did my 350 / 700R4 swap I went aftermarket. You'll need to remove the bolts that hold the gas...

Just fix the 7MGE. Trying to convert it over to a turbo car is more involved than you can possibly imagine. If you are not mechanically inclined, forget it. Don't even try it. When (or if) you do...

Buy a kit at the local auto parts store to check for a blown head gasket (BHG). You'll take a sample of the coolant and the kit will tell you if you have a BHG. Pretty common problem with the MKIII...

LMFAO! No kidding. Had a 1978(?) POS AMC Matador wagon. Big ol' hoopty and ugly as sin. Would send my friends and I for a ride when I'd rock it with gas 'n brake. The whole seat would rock!...

Thanks man! Never had a Vega, almost had a Monza though. Still kick myself for not buying it. $500 for a decent Monza Spyder would of been worth it. Guy sold it before I could get back with the...

If you're going turbo, it really would be best to buy one with a turbo. Buying one without a turbo, then adding one on, would be more (more money, more time, more problems) than the price of a...

I think the internals could handle it, for a while. The weak links would be the rod bearings and of course the head gasket. The more you boost and crank it up, the more chance that parts will fail....

1987 Toyota Supra MKIII 350 Chevy V8 Vortec 700R4 Project Car

Here are a few videos of my 1987 Toyota Supra MKIII 350 Chevy V8 700R4 Swap. It's easy to do and probably cheaper than a rebuild or modified Toy motor.

Here is a video of the completed weld job on the engine plates and transmission crossmember. Had a video up the other day but it was to dark and couldn't see much. Oh it's so close now. Won't be...

My bet is it's the switch on the steering column. It's probably loose. I know mine still clicks and works but it's not a very good design that year.

For $1500 that's a pretty good deal, it still runs and drives. Even if it has high mileage and some body / paint issues. Point out the flaws and the mileage. If it's been for sale for a while,...

Toyota Supra MKIII V8 Chevy LS 350 vs 7M GTE

I'm in the same situation. I like the MKIII. The body lines and styling are A1. The engine, is another story. Just taking out the 7M is a pain in the arse.

A stock running MKIII with a 7M...
