oh yeah, because a inline 6 is going to fit RIGHT in the box. lol.
Can it be done, yes.
Do you have the money.... time, skills, or even a shop that is smart enough to do it right... I do not know.
Motor swap wise, best bang for buck (and it always will be. Small Block Chevy. Its been proven to fit with only 1" of firewall recession.) | |

Don't forget this would most likely require a rear wheel drive conversion and a new channel for the different tranny/driveshaft. | |

No...U dont or wont have the money to do it...Its not worth it...sure it'd be cool...but you could just buy an older supra and put that motor in it for cheaper... IMO I would'nt even think about doing anykind of engine swap...ITS A BOX!!! Its never gunna be fast. lol. | |

If your going to do the motor swap. Go balls to the wall and Drop a V8 like this guy did. And yes it works, but takes alot of welding skills and ducketts. But check out the link this..... I tired to find the video of it rolling but i cant. RWD Scion xB With 450 HP Chevy V8 Engine! - Carscoop | |

| Re: Twin turbo supra motor swap?
better question - or a tangential question: has anyone ever straight up modified the 1NzFE motor? Im talking like boring out the cylinder ports.
I mea while we're on the subject of seemingly expensive and futile modifications (not being an ass, but probably sounding like one) | |

I like the original posters screen name.
this does sound like the thread of a 15yo. Big dreams, big ideas, and probably zero money.
Like was said above, money can buy anything, but a TT Supra motor could have a much better home in a car that can handle it. | |
