Damn it. 39 pages read, to find out that it's not done yet lol.

Very interesting, glad to hear your input! What transmission mount did you use?

Subscribed, fa sho.

Good point, I hadn't thought of that. I've sourced a T56 anyway, so I'll have a good time making it fit in the Supra. I guess I'll use this thread to ask my noob questions as well, instead of congesting the board with multiple new threads-- Does anybody know the weight of the fuel tank in the...

I'm thinking along the same lines as you, 500RWHP/500ft.-lbs is as far as I plan to go. Thanks a ton for the input you guys, I'm sure to have a lot of questions as things move along here.

Correct, kind of. My original plan was to do a few bolt ons, cam, and a big turbo like an S475. But now I'm thinking about going big displacement N/A, and saving the boost for a JZ build somewhere down the line... Decisions decisions, lol. To be honest, most of what I know about cars, I've...

I'm kicking around the idea of a 383 Stroker kit, too. Lots of options, I guess it's good that I have so much wait time to think about it all, lol. I'm thinking T56, which will probably take a bit of hammering on the transmission tunnel to fit in. I'm planning on using the T56, but I hadn't...

Figured I might as well throw up a build thread. This is largely just gonna be a place for me to record my build, and I'm happy to answer any questions I can that anyone may have about the build. It's a very slow moving project. The day I bought the car: typical project car shell. No motor...

It sort of resembles an old Datsun, the way the rear end looks.

I wish I understood what is taking place in this thread. :(

I'm sure there are a few members here that are located in Houston, so where are y'all at?! Big city, my build is taking place in the Memorial City area.

Until then, post pics!!

For sure. Honestly, with work being as busy as it is for me, this is something I figure I'll be wrenching on for quite a while before it's finished. But I'm alright with that.

Hi all. Recently picked up a MKIII shell to have fun with and wrench on in my free time. I'm not new to cars, but I'm a little but new to Japanese cars, especially Supras. No 7M for me though... 5.3L LS motor is the plan. Not sure how much heat I'm gonna catch for that, but hey, I'm ready for...
