I have been looking for a supra body,cant find one cheap enough.Wanted to do a LS1 TURBO SET UP.It would make a lot of people mad.My friend just had his supra built in FLA.It cost him $18.000 for about 600hp.(preowner of the LS1 240sx Green/black TEAMSPANK)

i have seen a guy over here with a SBC engined supra but that was the Mk3 i think (boxy one). the toyota quad cam V8's are very good! they have very strong bottom ends from the factory! also a guy dropped on in a ultima GTR in sweedan, with a set of pistons he was making nearly 1000bhp! very nice indead!
thanks Chris.

There is also word of a Supra in Hawaii with an ls1 swap. Apparently he blew his 2j and threw in an ls1 with spray.
Ranger, from SF? I remember Cedric mentioning the ls1 car. He said he was going to try to talk to the owner, but I haven't heard anything since.
If you are in Iraq now, thanks and stay safe.

Any picture would be appreciated.

Do it!!!
Yea, that R34 TT LSx was siiiickness.
Why the hell not in a supra indeed? It's not like these cars are freakin sacred.
It'd freak the **** out of supra convention or a non-domestic gathering. Their heads would explode seeing a supra, but hearing a v8.

So we're tossing around ideas. I figured that buying an entire LS1 drivetrain for 3K is a lot cheaper then the Supra equivalent, and it would be cool.

I wouldn't I kind of think it is a stupid idea myself. For as much as Supra's are selling for, I would just sell it to be honest. RX-7 swap LS1 pretty much rule the world!

You better go with a Radical setup if some one plans on doing it, and that skyline isnt just a LS1, its a fully built cutom TT car.......
Notice people using Lexus V8s in supras are making HUGE power, and wanting better power bands......
And it doesnt cost alot at all to get a supra to 600whp....If it does well your just a shop *****

There are a fair amount of people interested in having more torque, as well as a lighter, better handling car. It wouldn't be a waste to anyone (especially road racers) other than highway kings.
