I just saw a toyota dolphin motorhome for sale around the block. 22r engine, but the clutch is out. He wanted $600 for the whole thing. I took at look at it and it's in pretty decent shape.

Got me thinking though... that motorhome would rock with a 7mgte in it! Who thinks I should do it? :biglaugh:

This isn't the exact motorhome, but it's in pretty much the same shape, same color scheme.

It would actually be a do-able swap IMO, since 7mge swaps appear to be fairly common among the 1980's-late 90's toyota trucks. However, a 7mgte into a paseo wouldn't work (engine layout is all different, no diff in the rear, overall too much fabrication to be feasible)... plus I think a 7mgte into a 1980's Toyota Starlet would be a better choice (and worth the time and effort); 1,600 lbs and 230 hp!

Basically the Toyota Dolphin is just a Truck with a Camper built onto it. :biglaugh:

I would love to see that thing run down the track.

That would be....

Interesting. Very interesting.

Start a build thread when you get it all planned out!

Think of how much money you could make off it, Re-paint it all a nice gloss color, and make that 7m engine shine. This is truly one of a kind.

Keep us updated!!
