1979 celica supra
My firend found an almost mint condition 1979 celica supra that's been sitting in a barn for about 7 year now. I'm gonna help him get it running.
Here's the deal, there is NO info on these things besides the specs. I found out it makes 110 hp and is a 2.6l inline 6 with a frieaking 8.5:1 compression ratio.
So, yeah I'm thinking about brainwashing him into turbos, there is just NO damn info for these things!

Re:1979 celica supra
I would say swap a different engine in it. the 5mge from the 82 - 85 supra will fit with little modification. The engine is 160hp. But if you really want some power, throw the 7mgte engine in it.(from 86-92 supras)It has 230hp.
I would say engine swap would be the only way to go because I believe the 79 celica supra has a 4me in it and i am pretty sure you wont find parts for that.
I wouldnt put it out to pasture. Sorry i am an old RWD Toyota Fan
Just my $0.02
