Default so if SUPRA engines are so damn special...
then why don't I see more swaps going on?

that's not a bad price for a whole engine with 20k-35k miles on it...

It seems supras became soooo popular after that awesome movie came out. "The slow and the curious".

thought it was " the **** and the bi-curious." either way supra motors are a popular swap if you can find a car that the huge inline 6 will fit in.

Prolly cause they aren't the chepest motors, including all parts. Granted, LSx motors aren't cheap either (good condition/low miles). But the swap itself might cost a pretty penny.

Every "JDM" engine that I see has between 25-60K miles.

Why don't they know the mileage. Seems like a scam.

because in japan at 40,000 miles or around there. they are no longer smog legal and pulled out. the only way to confirm miles is to get a complete front clip.
