Supra engine swap, where did that post go?? Options

[HanTheMan]

Hey everyone, i went on the site today to look for an update on that 2jz engine swap that no one believed was possible...but now i cant find it! what happened?

[RedSunCelica]

Its good to hear that there are still people pushing the limits of the Celica as far as motor swaps go. It’ll be good to hear the swap is successful and if the guy did all the work and fabricate all his own parts/mounts then the price shouldn’t be that expensive.

But then again only time will tell.

I really don’t see why the supra motor will not fit in the Celica. I remember seeing a movie about an 86 corolla with a 3 rotor Cosmo motor in it people said it couldn’t be done but it worked. Also I remember seeing a picture of a 3rd gen Celica/supra with a 7mgte or was it a 2jz motor in it. Also wasn’t it a while back on ebay some guy that was selling his 240 sx that had the RB26-DET motor swapped into it, and the 240 has a small ass engine bay. Also I remember seeing a local guy I from So Cal with a 1970 datsun 510 that also had a RB26-DET and a 454 big block in a 2100 pound car. So I don’t see why a supra motor will not fit in a Celica. Just need a lot of relocating of parts and fabrications.

But like I said before only time will tell.
