Supra engine is badass, but they go for like $2500. Too rich for my blood. 1UZ is like $500.

I think the 1uz will sound pretty nasty

What you think it will sound like spooling a HX40?

Where are you located? I'm sure I could find someone who wants that motor.

damn, 250 bucks?! I"ve got to find me one of those.

If you do go the UZ route, what transmission were you planning on using?

3sge turbo you can build a 3sge for less than a 3sgte cost, and its the same block and the crank is just as strong

I've been wanting to do something with a 1UZ for a while now. I was considering all sorts of different shells, old mango and peanut corollas, 1980 corolla wagon. I picked the 77 celica, because it kinda looks like a 67 camaro, classic muscle style but smaller. I like jap-style technology, high revs, fuel injection, turbo, OHC, 4 valves per cylinder, alloy heads and blocks, light weight. But I'm really not a fan of most modern rwd jap body styles. Most hooked up supras and 240SXs make me want to gouge my eyeballs out. I definitely prefer 510s, Z-cars, RX3s, celicas, and corollas.

I'm planning on using the supra r154 tranny. I am kicking the tires on one in MI, buddy wants $300 plus shipping, I'd like to pay $300 shipped. I was thinking of making an adaptor plate btwn the stock auto bellhousing and the r154. If that isn't happening I will get a dellow or castlemaine bell housing.

I'm picking up a complete EDIS-8 coilpack setup. Woot woot. The parts pile has started.

1jz, that engine is just sick. 2.5l inline 6, revs to 10k with a valvetrain. not to mention most people put straight t4's on those bitches and make 500hp on stock internals. thats where its at
