its the non-turbo supra engine.. ive looked into it and its okay to boost the NA engine.. besides in the future ill probably just build the block.. but for now just keep it as a good daily driver.

what was the swap for? Your stock motor was dying or something? Or did you wanted manual?

so do you have a 400 that you swapped the 6cyl engine? Was it a lot of waork to swap it out? why not go with the TT engine from point A. Just wondering.

Sounds like you swapped a 2JZGE 5MT from a Supra into your SC400 with plans on boosting soon.

yes indeed. it was an sc400 but the v8 was killing me in the pockets.. And well the swap was in my price range so i decided why not.. they had the 2jzgtte but it was like 7k for the engine plus swap. And it was a stock engine. With this im just planning to go na-t.
