Engine swap Possibilities

[4in100]

3rz 2.7L would be a better swap IMO, but the 7MGE is a good one too.

I am about 90 percent with the 7m swap

I did a 7M-GE swap into my '85 pickup by myself last xmas - took about 7 full days but I had already rebuilt the engine before that. It will cost you about double what you initially expect. There's a million little things you'll need, even if you think you have all your parts ahead of time like I did. Prepare to piss money into the wind...

Sure is nice turning 37's, though.

sho swap

Just in case any one is still interested, from my research the sho engine can be coupled with an aerostar bellhousing and with a custom adaptor plate be coupled with a mustang t5 tranny. Now thats the setup i am looking but i dont know what tranny setup you would want to use for mudding.
Just thought i would put my 2 cents in.

My $.02.... Supra Motor, I have done 3 of these and they ROCK! also who doesn't want to keep toyota a toyota? With the Hemi head this thing just GUSHES power not to mention the low end torque. Get a donor refresh it and take off.

Supra motor have the same bellhousing configuration?

Another Supra swap still in progress I think.......:

You're looking for an 86.5-92 Supra....I'm not sure if there are any noticeable differences between the years.

Also, if you are only looking for an NA 7m, NOT the Turbo, 88-92 Cressidas use the 7M also. The Cressidas and NA Supras use a W58 trans, so if you got the bellhousing with the motor, your W56 tranny will pretty much just bolt up.

If you go the Turbo route, you will still need to find an NA bellhousing to work with your W-series trans.

Supra swappers are still waiting on someone to come up with a custom bell to mate an R151 trans behind a 7M.

You wanna take a look at the forums on www.Supracharged.com

Rob seems to be the foremost expert on this swap.

Also some good resource sites for the 7M info, you need the MKIII generation:

Ok someone needs to tell me a 1FZ has the same lenght block cause 2MK the "stroker" 2jZ's use the 1FZ crank.

I need to know and that'd just be cool, the torqiest motor of'em all

This is one of the best walk throughs i have ever seen. Hope it helps and interests someone else as much as it did me!!!

You may consider a 1uzfe V8 from a Toyota/Lexus. They make 300rwhp from the factory and you can find them cheap. They also have the same reliability that most toyota engines have. This is a popular swap in Australia and several companies make a bell housing adapter and clutch kit to mate the engine to the Toyota W and R Series Transmissions.

How about the 5VZ-FE, I dont think it has been mentioned here. With the TRD supercharger on it, it would be nice...

Offroad solutions has much of the required components.

happy swapping.
