Oh yea... that's a nice engine/trans to play with. Try to get the wiring and computer with it too if you can, but there are aftermarket systems out there for those.
That'd make a TR6 jump! I'd like to see it in a GT6, but I don't know if it'd fit.
Very similar style engine to the old Jag . I always thought it'd be a good choice for a Jag replica kit.

Our son drives Supras (1986-1990 Turbo) and that drive train is a good one! According to a guy we talked with at a show recently it will bolt right up to your TR. My son and husband swear that its "bullet proof"

What ever happened to the Supra that was wrapped around it?

er, ah speaking from the guy doing the swap. The Supra drivetrain will not bolt up directly to anything. It will fit but only with a lot of work and custom parts. If it is the non-turbo, Hermans kit will allow you to bolt up the transmission.
As for bullet proof, the Supra drivetrain is good for 600HP all day long on stock components....now the TR is another story.

Thanks for the imput.
The car is a MarkIII with the 7M-GTE engine and R154 tranny.
Driver, isn't yours a MKIV with the twin turbos?
The car has just been sitting at his parents house and due to the work he did on it, I won't pass an emisions test. Which wasn't a problem, until they passed some new laws in his home town.
After asking if he was serious about the offer, he came back and said it wouldn't be free but just what he had in the rebuild. It has about 20,000 on a complete rebuild and last timed he had it dyno'd, it came in areound 250 hp.

Wow; that looks like a serious machine.
And a whole lot of engineering going into making it work.
When will it fly?

Jackag,
FWIW, the 7M-GTE engine is prone to blowing the headgasket. If it is rebuilt properly with arp head studs and metal head gasket it can be a good engine.
As for my engine it is the 1JZ-GTE (only available abroad), the one in the MKIV is a 2JZ-GTE. The only difference is 2.5L vs 3.0L and about $4000 cheaper. The transmission on mine is also the R154 vs. the V160. The V160 is a lot bigger and heavier than the R154 so I decided to save my money and go for the 1JZ.
If you decide to go forward I can give you a bunch of info, or let you know what will be in store before you consider such a thing.
Not trying to hijack the thread.
My schedule for finishing is slower than expected, running into issues I didn't expect and lack of time. I hope for early spring.
As long as I am sharing, I found a sale at costco on tires and finally got some new shoes to try and harness 320+ RWHP
