New to Supramania

[classgt]

I am currently swapping a motor from an 88 auto 7mgte to another 88 turbo rolling chasis with a 5spd. I sorta had an accident with the burgundy supra:cry:. I am excited to get it up and going again. I visit this website daily to gain more knowledge. When I am done with the swap, I will post more pics.

Welcome to Supramania and good luck with the motor swap. Be sure and replace what hoses you can while the motor is out. I'd do as much preventive maintenance as I could if I were you, but you do what you want. Hopefully it'll go smoothly for you.

Are the rims 18s???

They are actually 17s. I had got them like 6-7yrs ago and at that time 18s were expensive. I have definately replaced a lot of hoses because they werent in the greatest shape. Thanks for the info.

When I did my swap, I replaced the front and rear seals as well as the cam seals while I had the motor out. They're so much easier to get to with the motor out. Just a suggestion though.

I had installed a new cylinder head on the motor due to a BHG gone wrong. I hadn't thought about replacing the front and rear seals. I will take a close look at them to double check. I did do the cam cover and oil pan gasket because I knew there was a small leak from both. Thanks for the info suprahero.
