Whadya think?

I think I'm going to pursue the 1UZ swap. It sounds like just what I'm looking for- thanks for the encouragement! I would want to stick with the R-154, so I would need to figure out adapter & motor mounts- could you shoot me contact info for your buddy? Thanks... I'm kinda excited about it...

All very good info- thanks. I guess I'm just frustrated. I've had a dozen or so Toyota V-6's and I've been thrashing my Tundra for almost 300K with no issues- very dependable. In the early 90's I had an '88 N/A Supra that ran like a Swiss watch. then I got a '89 Turbo that fell apart faster than...

Has anybody out there ever transplanted a V-6 out of a truck or 4Runner into a Supra? My engine is dead, I'm just curious, I'm not racing it, and the dependability would be... refreshing. Thanks in advance for any insights-

Thanks- thats where I will begin- I don't have access to tools & equip that I would need- but I do do have a buddy that does, & he may be willing to give me some help... I'm gonna fix this engine if it takes my wife's last dime. (don't tell her I said that...)

I just bought a cherry 89 turbo. It had gotten a head rebuild- valve grind, resurface head, new head gasket set 3000 miles ago. Obviously wasn't done properly- but I'm stuck with the situation, so what I want to do is fix it. I just want a stock performing engine- but I want to make it...

Just got a Supra again after I sold my 88 back in 93. LOVIN IT! My question is: I've heard/ seen/ been told it's not a good idea to run synthetic oil in a turbo engine. I've always run full synthetic in my Tundra & it's still runnin great after 300K, so I kinda like synthetic... can anyone offer...

Plans are: keep everything stock, make sure the engine purrs like a kitten, freeway cruiser, keep garaged the rest of it's life.

Yeah I'm very happy with the car (gray fabric interior) Low miles, runs great! I told my sons to be ready to take me to a doctor after it was delivered- cuz I was pretty sure it was going to last more than 4 hours...

This is my recently acquired '89- I've been waiting for 15 years since I sold my last one...
