350 in a Supra?

Okay so I've talked to a few people now who say they have done this and they say it's a relatively straight forward swap. Who all on here has done this or has experience in something along these lines?

My idea is a crate 350 and possibly a T56 tranny goin into my 87 MKIII. The arguments I've received so far are about half and half. Half being "that's a dumb idea and it'll cost way more than rebuilding a 7mgte to stick in there", and the other half being "that's easy and it'll be much cheaper than sticking a 7mgte in there." While I've had a turbo car before and love them, a 350 is pretty tempting. Granted I've never even done a motor swap, let alone a conversion such as this. But I'm sure with some help from a few people I've met locally, it wouldn't be too bad. Money wise it seems like it would be fairly equal.

So I'm open to thoughts and suggestions. Thanks!

do it man, domestic power in a little import body? cant go wrong. go to youtube or streetfire.net, theyve got some bad little rx-7's and stuff like that with 5.7's

Yeah it would be sweet. Plus I wouldn't have to worry about blown head gaskets and all the other commonplace garbage supra owners have to put up with. Still though, a turbocharger always puts a chessher cat grin on my face.

Mo opinions!

i think it'd be easier and quicker to go with a built 350, but thats just me. go with what you have more experience with motor wise for the long run.

Im not sure about the Supra... But I know someone in Fort Walton that Has an RX-7 That has a current 4.3L Chevrolet V6 And will currently beat the shit out of a lot of cars becuase of power to weight ratio and he can hook up... Plus he is buiilding A 350 as we speak...... Go up to Oreillys on Mary Esther Cutoff and Talk to Kevin Stanley..... He could tell ya pretty much anything you need to know about stuffing american muscle in an Import, LOL

I talked to another guy today who said he'd be willing to help me if I help him remove some trees from his yard. He's a Chevrolet guru. The mans got pictures of a Porsche 944 project car he brought back from Germany that he stuffed a 350 into and he's in the middle of designing a twin turbo setup for it. He's insane. I tell ya!

Turbo or 350?

How about turboed 350!
Haha, jk. I don't know...I would have a hard time deciding too. Honestly I would do whatever is done less. I love to do things that you don't see very often.

Yeah, that's how I used to be. Now I'm all about best bang for the buck. Still try to keep em unique on the outside though.

is the 350 in yet, drop it in, slicks and skinnys, suspension, /badasscar.

I say stick with the 7M motor, and crank up za booooooost,
a JDM swap is cheap for MKIII's, usually around a grand.

We shall see. I'm obviously ill pocket book equipped to do either at this moment.

well... I think I changed my mind. After I started factoring in setting up a custom cooling system, fuel lines, wiring, etc, I've decided it might be one heck of a lot easier to go turbo 7mgte. So thanks for everyone's opinions anyway. Maybe if I find a gold mine in my back yard and strike it rich I'll change my mind and pay someone to drop and LS2 in there or something.

yeah supercharged ls's are findin their ways into more 944's. I'd like the just turbo mine and call it a day. Yeah there is/was a supra in the local classifieds about two weeks ago with a 350 in it. If I recall, it wasn't super expensive either

You gotta 944? You suck you know that? LOL! Jk. But seriously I wanted one of those for the longest time. I was actually saving my money up to get one for a while but settled for a 240sx. Course that only satisfied me for so long...

I say you do a 2jzgte swap and shoot for 800hp! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmNy-ajRV0U
