Can I use a 7MGE from a '90 Cressida

[AW11inVa]

I searched but past threads seemed to get off topic and did not nail down an answer. A '90 Cressida has come up for sale cheap locally. Can I take the 7M out of that and swap all the components from my old siezed engine onto the Cressida 7M and install to my 5 speed '89 Supra? I realize the oil pan is different and sensors and harness will need to be swapped. Is it worth going to look at? Matt

yes you can use the motor from the cressida.

 

[Supra469]

Yes. I believe you can. You already know about the oil pan etc.

Oil pan and heater pipes are different, iirc.

No ACIS

No ACIS

Is that good or bad? LOL

 

[Ma70.Ent]

From what I can see, ACIS is good

That's a a link to how it works and stuff.

But that's all in the intake. If he's only swapping long blocks, should be okay.

Good point

With what I know now about the supra I would probably just strip the block and head of cressida parts and bolt on all the supra related parts.

That's the ticket.

Are Cressida shells worth anything? I just want the motor to get my Supra running.

 

[Ma70.Ent]

There's always someone out there who wants a good shell. Cressidas, like MK3 supras are candidates for 1jz/2jz/7mgte swaps

cool now I just need to convince my wife getting a 7th car in the yard is a good idea LOL

 

[BlackMKIII]

Especially the drifting crowd. I hear the Cressida is an awesome drifter, like the Chaser.

motor mount place is different... i bought an 88 supra to put the motor in my 89 cressida and one of em had the mounts in a different spot than the other... mounts and oil dipstick i believe

 

[AW11inVa]

But you should be able to bolt on the supra motor mounts

Soundwave2000 has a cresida motor in his mk3. Droped right in fairly easy.

I want a cressida! If its not all fubared.

When I joined the site and was searching old threads I was suprised to see the Cressida had such a following. People have done some cool stuff with the 4 door family car!!

Here is a gallery of pics of my Supra.

I went and looked at this Cressida this morning. It was a nice car!! Almost too nice to pull the motor from it. It has 124,000 miles and it did smoke a little bit at start up but went away and it idled and ran smoothly.

The body was strait and the bad thing about it was the drivers rear quarter a section of sheet metal was pushed in and there was some small surface rust unter the drivers tail light. That dent was not creased and could easily be pulled out and repainted you would never know it was there.

I got the seller down to $800. I am not sure what to do! GRRRRRR!!! As a whole car it was a good deal but I only want the motor.
