87 Supra V8 swap

[googooflexy]

My name is Cameron, I'm from South Carolina. Just wanted to give a shout out to everyone here and thank you guys for havin me here.
So, a little about me and my car...I have an 87 N/A Supra targa shell. I just got it a few months ago from a friend for 50 bucks. This summer, I'm gonna try and get it running with the 350ci chevy smallblock I have sitting around. The engine has roughly 380 horses with a good carb and air cleaner...it supposedly came out of an 80's corvette, but it may have originally come out of a camaro...I'm not sure yet. I realize most of you may be a bit disgruntled about this swap, and I couldn't be happier...I feed off of this negative energy. The groaning is the reason I've decided to do this swap
But I do plan on getting an 89+ Turbo after I'm done with this swap, cuz at heart, I'm just a boost nerd

SO...
here are some pics of my project as of now. keep in mind I just got it and I have a ways to go, but it sould be running by september. So far I've replaced the 2 front fenders, the hood, the tails, and some interrior that was spraypainted

As she sits:

Tail lights I had to replace since the last owners painted over them:

@ ma70tt
Thats cool as hell...yes, I have LOTS of questions. Ill have to hit u up here pretty soon about mounts, clearance, transmissions, driveshafts, rear ends, and exhaust lol. I think I have a pretty good idea about what's gonna hafta happen, but it will certainly help to talk to someone whos done it before.

@ Dunckel
Thanks dude, its good to be here...and yes, ive seen that supra before. talk about a sleeper. its pretty sweet for sure.

I had someone the other day tell me to toss my '7m junk' and put in a 302 with a 80mm.. I tried to not laugh in his face, but to each their own. Welcome to SM.

Edit: HOLY THREAD REVIVAL. Didn't even notice the date.
