    5M-GE Block + 7M-GTE head?

    Google is giving me a headache, so I'll just ask you guys. Can the 7M-GTE head be thrown onto a 5M-GE block with no to little modification? Trying to get my step-dads drift car ready for Bash to the Future.

    Any opinions and price ranges for a 3TGTE or 2TGEU engine?

    I'm pretty sure I'll get a neat little project in the next few days: I was curious if anyone had a rough price range that someone would pay for a 3TGTE or 2TGEU engine? and if you guys had any opinions on the two. :)

    Need some north-westerners with importation experience, questions!

    So I'm joining the Navy, and about half the reason is cars and the other half is some deep stuff. But basically I'm going to get stationed in Japan for about 6 months at a time and then file to get stationed somewhere else, because you're allowed to have a car in your cargo container when you...

    Does it exist?

    As most if not all of you know, Toyota offered a two-tone from factory paint job until the end of '87 (I think it was) But what I'm curious, is did they offer the dark blue on light blue two-tone with a targa top? So this, but with a targa top If someone can get me photo proof of one (which...

    Critique/Thoughts on a short story?

    This isn't anywhere near finished, I actually wrote this for a D20 character because my friend talked me into learning to play D&D. Ended up losing interest, but considering continuing on this story. :) Curious what you guys think, there's a few run-on sentences and bad punctuation in places...

    Question(s) about importing a Toyota Soarer

    So I was wondering if you guys could help me with something. Basically, I sat down a few days ago to figure out a few things that I want to be part of my current "5-Year plan" and after a bit of thinking I've decided I want my 1987 Toyota Supra to be my show car and I want to purchase a 1988...

    Car jerks when accelerating quickly?

    Don't have much info on this because I can't figure out anything consistent that is happening when it happens, the first time it happened I was in third gear around 5,000 RPMs and this morning while I was driving my roommate to work it happened in second gear at about 4,000 RPMs The only...

    Gotta ask this once more (white smoke)

    Alright, I already asked this once before, but I've gotten so many different answers that I need to ask again and throw some "facts" I've gotten. I have white smoke at start up, only in the mornings and after the car has been sitting for a little while (I would say about an hour) The...

    Exhaust sputtering and engine shaking

    Rain or Shine, Cold or Hot, if I start up my Supra the exhaust has a light "putt putt putt putt" noise coming from it, and the engine is shaking a bit. I just had my power steering pump "explode" and had fluid all over everything under my hood, riding without power steering right now as I'm...

    Quick oil pan bolt question

    Well so far I think most of my questions have been a bit vague, but I have an easy one for you guys this time! Oil pan (at the drain bolt) is leaking, should I use a rubber washer, or a copper one? I've had a bunch of people on both sides of the issue, so I figured I would see what you guys say.

    Rough estimate on (self) repair?

    I've read through this, and also bumped it to see what the poster did. But I have the exact same problems, and I'm almost certain it's not a BHG (yet at least :cry: ) But I was curious how much it would cost to replace the valves and anything else that would be causing white smoke at start...

    Halo flipup headlights? and projector question

    I was wondering if there is anywhere that we can order halo flip up headlights for mk3 supra's? All I can find is projector head lights and I was wondering what the difference is between these two projector lights...

    Kiraush's Dream Car

    This'll be a slow build up, I'm just about to turn twenty-one and I've been living on my own paycheck to paycheck since I was seventeen. But I'll do what I can as fast as I can, and hopefully there will be very few problems in between! Some Context(You can skip it if you want): I lost my father...

    White Smoke on start-up, but not afterwards

    At first I was terrified I had a blown headgasket (Really not in a financial position to fix one) but after a bit of searching apparently white smoke for a blown headgasket persists after start-up So I thought it might have been when the kid at the Gas Station hit Premium rather than super...

    Slightly-Newbie question(s)/Concern(s)

    So for some context: I did a complete oil change right before this happened, so maybe that had something to do it. The kid who sold me it was using Fred Meyer oil and I wasn't going to stand for that, changed it for Castrol GTX I also changed the Oil Filter Then this light came on sometime the...

    Dash symbol curiosity and Power window question

    This light came on: I assumed it was needing more coolant, which it did, so I added some, but the light is still on. So I thought I would ask you guys. :1zhelp: and on the driver side, there's two buttons: Driver side window up, down, auto-up, auto-down Passenger side up, down all of those...
