How much lower of a rear end do you need? 4.33 LSD is pretty low. You'll be shifting gears so fast that it will actually slow you down unless you start in 2nd gear. I really wouldn't change the gears. VT247

I've certainly got a better reception than over on the Toyota Supra Forum! I know the roller paint job sounds bad, but it really isn't so terrible. I have to make do with what I have available. Trust me, after investing all this time and money on making the swap, I want a nice looking ride as...

Holy crap man! First time I've seen this post. Thought my computer was going to explode loading all those pics! Cool build. A+ execution. VT247

Making progress. Still need to get the right V belts (length), the driveshaft made and a flexible transmission dipstick / firewall mount. The exhaust is getting a small section cut out for more clearance They clear, but are pretty close to the fabricated steel plates / motor mount. Here's a...

Where were you racing at? Nice thing about Anderson (compared to Muncie) is that the roads are decent. You can literally tell were the county line ends. You'll go from nice smooth roads, to potholes that'll knock your teeth loose. VT247

I'd love to come. Where exactly is it at? Is it at Speedway? The V8 RX7 guys were talking about it on there forum, it's this weekend! Wanted to bring my 1983 Mazda RX7 Convertible. It's stock, but still a fun roadster. To bad the Supra project isn't done. VT247

Not sure yet. I have an electric gun, but I think the paint will run. Could get a compressor and an air gun and shoot it myself, but that's just more money out. The roller job causes less runs, gives good coverage and it's cheap. I can fix any dents, scratches, etc easily this way too...

Another few more pics. The engine is a 350 Chevy Vortec motor ($500). Mods include, cut valvestem guides for more lift ($50 machine shop), +.500 inch lift roller camshaft ($300), Vortec heads with LT4 Springs ($50), Roller Rocker arms($150), Poly locks for rocker arm bolts($40), Edelbrock...

A few pics. Should of got a beginning picture. Started wrenching on it as soon as I got it home. It was faded blue. I'll be painting it (very cheaply) myself and will be Rustoleum gloss black with a middle red stripe. VT247

You're in Anderson? Wow, I'm in Muncie, IN. VT247

The motor was just sitting around collecting dust. Still turns over freely though. But yes to your second question as well. I wanted to do this project. Always thought the MKIII Supra was one of the coolest style of cars. Funny that more people haven't done this project. It's really not...

No 383, but I do have the HOT cam installed already. Its a 350 Vortec Engine full roller. Hot cam, roller rocker arms, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, 750 Edelbrock Carb. Cheap and easy build. VT247

Here's my project car build up. Found a 92k mile 1987 Toyota Supra for sale $600. Have a 400hp Vortec V8 Chevy with a built 700R4 from another project (ran 12.8's in my '84 Vette). Also have a large aftermarket aluminum radiator. So far I've got @ $2k in it, not including the engine, tranny...

Here's a few video's of my project car. It's a 1987 Toyota Supra MKIII with a 350 Chevy Vortec V8 & 700R4 Transmission. Originally bought this car for $600. The car has almost no rust and 92k miles on the body. The engine took a dump on the previous owner. He tried to fix it and then...
