Re: 1988 supra build suggestions?
i felt like i made out like a bandit in that deal. about 4 months go by, it has a blown head gasket. fix the head gasket but didn't tear it down all the way to check for internal damage. another month and a half goes but and on the way home from work it starts to knock. very loud. said fuck it because i knew the motor was pretty much done at that point. i figured i would try to make it as far home as possible and that's when the motor threw the rod in cyl. 6. thought that this would be the best opportunity to give it a heart transplant and build something i have wanted for a long time. fell in love with my supra since day one and this why i wont let it go. it has basically become somewhat storage in the garage (kind of upsetting.) so far i have taken off the head and all of the accessories, not much for how long its been down i know, i have some of the interior apart as well. so here it is,
You need to be mor realistic. 1jz swap with 300 wheel horsepower and be happy. 2jzgte wih 350-400 wheel hp and be happy. My friends in Silverspring MD ( NTO Motorsports) can do the swap for you in no time. You must have money though.

Goes the story of EVERYONE who buy's a stock cressida/supra with the intentions of making it a daily. Blown headgasket - repair attempt - blown headgasket again, rod knock or both.
