Your car, do as you please. I'd never put one in my Supra but it's you that has to drive your car everyday.

Go for it! its gonna be wierd, and you probibly will get some hate for it... but it might be really fun.
It will be sick! I wouldn't put a Carbed motor in my car either.
I want an LS6/7 if I ever get around to doing what I want to this car

This is such a change in attitude guys!
A couple of years back he'd have been burned at the stake for even suggesting this swap.

Ohhhhh...Gail Banks engineering has a twin turbo setup for SBC. That would be pretty slick!
Anyway, it's your car so do what you want! I think it'd be cool. You got my vote.

Those Banks engines go for 30k. I think that might be a little more then he's willing to spend.CPT Furious said:
Sloppy small block 400 power. A famous overheater...to thin between the cylinder bores and you're thinking of shoehorning it in a car that isn't known for it's cool engine compartment. And as a bonus it's gonna be mated to a th350 (3 speed I assume) and just to top off that you want to use what?... a 9" ford or a 12 bolt chevy solid axle rear and lose your independent suspension?
I think I'd pass.:3d_frown:

IJ. said:9" doesn't mean you HAVE to lose the IRS
Not only that, but you don't need to lose the stock IRS. I have seen lots of sbc swaps in supras before, hell I saw a 468 BB chevy in mk3 for sale in the auto trader. The 406 would be an eaiser swap than a 7mge to 7mgte. All the electronics you need is already in the distributor, one 12 v wire and your running.
yeah, but none of the gauges will work (well, the fuel guage will...)
high tech power everything car mated to carbed... I'd pass...
fuel inject it and get everything working right and make it look like it came in the engine bay stock, then you'll get my respect. Already seen enough SBC's in MKIII's...

You may as well put in an LSX motor instead of the old iron carb'd engine. A T56 would be a good addition as well.
Go for it, I always wondered if they were too wide to fit in the engine bay. When I rack up some serious cash, I might just have to throw one of these in. :evil2:
