I was looking about this swap, how difficult is it, is it a straight foward swap or is their alot of fabrication involved?
Anyone running a Chevrolet 350 V8 in their supra?

Well if you're profile serves you correctly (That you have a 7M)...
Why bother all the extra work and fabrication only to be making a parallel move?
This isn't a discussion of preference, though. So I'll shut my mouth.
But yes, there are a handful of 350 SBC MKIII's out there.
I've actually seen a couple selling on eBay in the past.

I'm curious to know whats involved in the process, thats all.
Custom motor mounting, custom transmission crossmember, custom exhaust, custom fuel / timing control, um... that's what I've got off the top of my head
Local by the name of Travis did once. He also had a 2jz corolla and is currntly running a ls1 powered civic aka civette.

:3d_frown: this... its a TOYOTA... if you wanted a camaro, buy one. :3d_frown:
one of my friends is doin this with a 400 small block it is pretty easy and alot easier to work on but i think a 7m is what he should have left in the car being that is what came in the car
ANYTHING with a carb doesn't belong in the most technologicly advanced car Toyota made at the time.
Cost wise, they're dead ends (unless you're stuffing a modern LSX series motor in) as the guy with the LT1 Supra found out...

You would think with all the time, energy and money it would take to do this all that you would choose something better than the lt1. Atleast go Ls series with it.
I would agree with poodles that to put something carbed based in, it would just take away from both the personality of the car and the efficiency of what is known to come from the car. To go carb based is somehtign you do when your out of all other options.

I think its an awesome idea. I love my JZ as much or more than most ppl, but its the last small cid engine I'm going to mess with.
Next project is a tt 540 Merlin.
(Puts on flame suit...again lol)

if you want a v8 then ls1 ftw... but i wouldnt reccomend going carb with a modern car... i know that they make a kit , engine mounts, trans mounts, and radiator mounts, for 280s dont know how much that applies

Besides, if you go ^^^ THAT route... you'll have a good tutorial RIGHT HERE in SM!:biglaugh:
G/L with THAT, though... unless you are already a "Master Builder" of MOTOR-MAYHEM such as the architect of the captioned project...
