You can get that Supra motor for about 2k though, and then find someone here who's capable. And I know there are a few people here who wouldn't charge you an arm and a leg. If you wanna be crazy though, Get that SC400 and put a turbo on that thing.

But every bunch does have a few bad apples, usually.

I'm interested in going NA-t so any sites dedicated to that will be very helpful. I might buy one tomorrow. It's a 1993 green 5speed with 177,000 miles

Thanks for any help guys.
HOW MUCH ARE YOU GONA SPEND ON IT BECAUSE i HAVE A 96 SC300 IN GREAT CONDITION WITH 156,000 MILE'S ON IT...

i'VE SEEN SWAP'S FOR AROUND 600 WITHOUT THE TRANNY but it's the single turbo setup. Mine right now is listed at 7,600. And it has 156,000 miles on it.

Um 2k for a TT supra motor? Where are you looking because thats DIRT cheap? You are looking to spend atleast 4-5k for a TT motor/tranny.

Read above Dae Dae. If Supra swaps were that cheap they would be popping up all over the place.
