definitely would be a cool conversion, but i dont see the benefit of it over the other import swaps. there should be plenty of room for both the engine and trans. that i6 and 6sp r pretty massive in the Supra.
if ur buddy is jus really into the Supras and into the shock factor of something unique then he should give the swap a shot. if he is jus looking for a nice import swap with major performance goals, the FD (93+ RX7) would be a better choice in my opinion. hope u find the info ur looking for.

go ahead and do it. the only thing id do is have forged internals so ..things... can be added to match or surpass those pesky roll racers. the one issue might be the side to side clearance.

I could see the conversion being done in an MKIII supra. But it honestly doesn't make too much sense for a 2JZ equiped supra. The stock blocks are known to hold 800 or more and most supra owners buy the supra for that fact, that they don't have to change TOO much to make some damn good power.

Then it would be a sweet car to drop an LS1 into IMO.
