its pretty clean....i vote keep it and swap the GTE in it after you drive the GE motor into the ground .

Retorqued the head bolts this weekend. I'm pretty sure it was originally torqued to factory specs because I was able to get another 45-90 degrees out of each bolt.

I'm not sure what to think of the oil in the overflow, though. There was only a small amount floating on top of the coolant. It didn't appear that there was any oil in the radiator. I'm starting to think that it was left over from a prior BHG and the oil is going somewhere else

I'm driving it today, time will tell...

If it wasn't BHG before, it looks like it is now. After putting about 60 miles on it, it has coolant leaking onto the exhaust manifold and making a very convincing BHG cloud wherever I go. Back to the garage :3d_frown:

I say part it out.. I could use that driver side quarter panel ; )

Use the funds to help your other project car. I'm looking for a second one mind you.. for the winter. (Keep a good one for summer, a not as good one for winter.. either way I dont drive much anymore)

turbo the sucker =D

7mgte swap is your best bet but if time and funds arent available at the moment part it out

 

[Poodles]

Part out = death of another CLEAN supra

 

[Turbo Habanero]

If you part it out i could use those tail lights. and the whole rear seat lol

Part out = death of another CLEAN supra

Its all a question of time, $$$, and love.. lol.

I wonder how many 88 Supra's are alive in the world today. Maybe the MKIII's will someday actually get valued? I had to fight to get mine recognized as a collectible antique.. I did finally get it though via appriasal and some smooth talking to the insurance company.
(doubt it)
