I have owned a 1987 Toyota Supra for a little over a year now. During that time I have replaced the turbocharger, the exhaust manifold, helicoiled the head and inserted new exhaust manifold studs, replaced a bunch of gaskets and did some general engine cleaning.
It has been my intention, as I have been sorting out my car, to eventually build up another engine for it. The opportunity finally presented itself during the beginning of April. My friend’s father has been putting together a Supra of his own and has been slowly getting rid of the extra parts. I just happened to notice at the beginning of the month that his next batch of parts were an engine block and head. My wife and I picked up the parts yesterday.
Watch here for pictures of the project, and the trials and tribulations I encounter while building a Toyota 7M-GTE engine up from scratch with the goal of reach a minimum of 500 rwhp. I fully expect this project to take at least 2-3 years to complete and possibly even longer.
