Bought this 1990 7m-ge supra from a police auction for $410. Replaced the battery and she fired up and ran like a champ. Obviously 7mge is not enough power. thought about doing the 7-gte swap as well as the 1jz-gte, but finally decided on going with 2jz-gte with a larger single turbo instead of the twins. i am currently buying parts here and there waiting for my tax return to get the engine and the majority of the parts. cant wait to get this thing started, every new part i get in and every minute i spend reading about the swap and looking at parts is like christmas. there will definitely be lots of picks and probably lots of questions too come. looking forward to doing all the work to get this beast on the road...

Hey man, Good luck on the swap. I just did my 2jz swap and it was a great engine for the car(before mine broke).
