I have a guy at work who has a collection of old motors from all different types of vehicles... i got to talkin about engine swaps with him the other day and he tells me he has an old toyota motor but wasnt sure what it was... i asked him to dive into it, and come to find out, he tells me its a N/A 1JZ, and that i can have it if i want it... i asked him if it had a tranny with it, he told me no but said a friend of his has a wrecked 1st gen supra that may have an r154 in it that could become available.... is it worth taking the motor for free? i dont have anything else to drive at the moment, so the swap couldnt be now, but also im not sure that the N/A swap would be worth the cost... given that the motor would be on a stand and would get a complete rebuild though, i have no doubt i could find a single t manifold somewhere around here or online..... what do you guys think? would it be worth taking up the extra room and rebuilding? or should i just pass
Well i would look into it more and you probably find someone or some place that can help you and have what you need. But if not it is free. Tell you what if you deside not to do it, grab the motor anyway and ship it to me. Ill pay for shipping. Please!!!
I would get it just because.... but on the same note I have 3 22r's, a lt1, a 3tc sprint car and a 2rzfe so maybe I am not the right guy to say anything lol bahahahahaha ITS FREE BRO..... DO YOU HAVE THE ROOM FOR IT?... EVEN IF YOU DONT USE IT make a few bucks on it... just my .02
Take it and part it out. Don't even think about swapping it in, its not worth the time and $ your going to spend getting it going. It does have some parts that are worth money though, like the oil pan, motor mounts, valve covers - basically anything that will swap onto a GTE. Also, a first gen Supra will not have an R154, those only came in Turbo 3RD gen Supras.
