Spent the last couple days painting the Supra Flat Black. Won't be the final color. But at least now it's just 1. Here are a few before and after pics. : D VT247

No mufflers. Sidepipes out the side on both sides. It is nice being able to get parts anywhere for the motor. The engine bay is very accessible too. In hindsight, wish I'd of dropped a 6.0 LS engine in. Not that I don't like or respect the Toyota engines. The MKIII looks better than the...

A bigger engine and fuel injection would have been nice. But I wanted to keep things simple. Easy to fix and fast to replace. Some pretty tight clearances, but it's all in there good now. Here's my most recent video of it. It's in the garage now getting sanded down for some paint. Going...

Here are a few pics of my 1987 Toyota Supra Swap. Put in a 350 Chevy with a 700R4 Transmission in it. Here's the specs on it. Should get me @ the mid 12's at 110mph. Add a little spray later and shoot for high 11's. A 125 hp shot should get me there. Biggest limitation so far is traction...

Damn! Yea, they don't fk around in Virginia. Really surprised there was no fine. Sure it wasn't free though. How much did you have to pay to get your license back? Dealing with the DMV is worse than 15 days in lock up and 48hrs of trash detail combined! VT247

Blah! That's kind of insulting. Never thought the 2nd gen RX7's looked anything like an MKIII. The RX7 kind of look like a ford probe but never a supra. VT247

Obey the law, use common sense, stop immediately, turn that s it off, be polite, shut the f k up, get a white friend, don't ride with a mad woman. VT247 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj0mtxXEGE8&feature=related

*Error. LQ4 or LQ9 is the truck 6.0 version. L98 was the older 350 tuned port dogs. You're right, the 6 liter weighs @100 lbs more. But you get twice the displacement. VT247

I smoke. So that's about as useless as the cigar holder on a Volkswagon Beetle. : D VT247

Don't need an aluminum LS2. The iron L98 truck engine still has enormous potential. May be iron vs aluminum but it still weighs less than a 7MGTE. Many 2500 series p/u's, SUV's and commercial vehicles came equiped with the 6.0. It's just a few minor mods (cam, intake, carb) from 500 hp. To...

Drop in a 6.0 LS engine ($1000) with a larger cam($500), an Edelbrock intake and DIS box ($800) a Holley 850 double pumper($450). Back it with a strong 200R4 and stall converter ($1600). Add in a 100 shot of Nitrous ($400). Guaranteed 15+ car lengths (being conservative). VT247

Why? Spend the $200 and get a 3.73 LSD. VT247

Get props from the guys at the dragstrip. At the gas station or some other place stopped people always want to check it out. On the street my exhaust keeps the haters away. LOL 1987 Toyota Supra built 350 Chevy & 700R4 VT247

Since the car is a manual, put the breaker bar and socket on the nut. Wedge the bar to prevent movement. Place the car in gear and try the moving it forward (or back can't remember which). Anyone think this could work? VT247

Online friend put a 355 Chevy in his MKIII Supra. Looks good so far! VT247 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEshJmwySfc&feature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cacjLt6_818&feature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH9zc5YOtck&feature=channel
