Engine swap question

pcbootleger · 12-04-2003, 05:28 AM

I am jsut curious if a inline 6 from a supra would be able to fit in a rwd corolla? lots of fabrications would have to be made obviously. but even still, would it still be able to fit in that cramped engine compartment?

maybe if you do alot of cutting and welding and have a really big front end thats way bigger than the rear

yeah I've seen it done. Not good for much though.

it's not worth it. It would just throw off the weight distribution since your adding a bigger motor. If your going to swap a motor in a AE86, do a 4AGE, 4AGZE, or a SR20DET.

I have a video of a Japanese guy who had a 2JzGTE in his AE86. It was really nicely done, and he ran 10s. Quote him--> "It took a year to complete the swap" ...and this from a competent machanic

It doesnt sound like it is worth it. I would be cool for drag but not for drifting. The 86 has geat wieght distribution.but its up to you
