Well got to start with the story. Pick it up in Chicago, Il on 10/4/07 for $1100. Motor has a blowen piston ring on #6. Had a friend that drove semi meet me at the airport to go and pick up the supra. Drove the 8 Hrs. home and put it into the garage. Plans well dont know yet but a 1jz in in order, i have blowen up like 6 or 7 7m engines in the past so no more.
Here is a link to the parts needed http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55545 I will keep updating it.

Here is pics. picking up in Chicago.

Spent the night cleaning and getting the RED paint off. Gas works great to get paint off.

Also got the engine out!!! I dont know witch way to go? 1jz or have this 7m built. 1jz clip $3000, to have 7m built with turbo will be around $2500+i also would want a FFIM:)

Well this was like my 8th time I have done it but took me 2.5 hrs. on Friday night befor the major beer drinking took over, and 2 hrs, Sat. and a case of beer (optional:sarcasm: ) for a total of 4.5 - 5 hrs. and one hell of a hang over sat. morning. I also took out the tranny with it.

And im running the # on the 7m build and it would be less then $500 to have a guy Bore&Hone,, hot dip, Balance Rotating Assy, Assemble short Block. SO for less $2000 i can have a bomb proof lower end:) so im leaning more on 7m and no re-wiring in the 1jz.

Looks to be in good shape, I like the carbon fiber targa idea for hiding some bad paint spots. Also some brake clean cointaining acetone will pull that paint off good too. And I think you'd be better suited for 1jz but you don't need a clip, get the engine and tranny, and then just do your intercooler piping and intake mods while you got everything out because you'll eventually do it anyway.

You've got a nice platform to build on. I would keep it 7M. Get it done right and you shouldn't have problems. There are 7M success stories and I'm hoping mine will be one of them. Grey FTW!
