I snatched the Auto non turbo 7MGE motor out all by me self yesterday afternoon. Now I gotta get it to the shop for transplant and upgrades and all the goodies.

The car is a 1987 Supra non-turbo auto. Got the car with a blown head gasket for 200 bucks with jun 2009 tags. I sourced a 1JZGTE rear sump for $1,100 shipped complete with everything but swap mounts. Engine will have 25 to 30k on it but I will keep the car auto for a while and work on the exterior then finish the drive train. I want to sell the old 7MGE stuff but these forum rules are preventing right now. And it will be a very tuff drift car with alot of custom setups that I shall drive on the street like a savage beast.
