Should be pretty light compared to stock MKIII Supra. The engine/trans setup weighs about 100lbs LESS than the factory turbo setup. Not to mention the car will stay mostly stripped... I am guessing a little over 3000lbs.

The Supra owner is not a girl. The girl in the pics is the owner's girlfriend. Same mistake happened on that other forum.

Default A Gen 3 in a Supra? What a great idea!

Looks like a familiar fight .

Best of luck with the exhaust.

Just made up my AC hoses today & finally found a socket to tighten the oil pressure sender (LM7 installed in MK 3 Supra, yes it is TIGHT!).

I hope to have it running within a month...

After trying F-Body and C5 exhaust manifolds, I found some that will work. They are off of a CTS-V. The clearance to the steering link on the driver's side is so close that when turning the steering wheel the pinch bolt rubs a little. So with some grinding it should JUST fit. I am not worried about much movement as I have polyurethane engine and transmission mounts... I will post some pics of that once I have the grinding all done.

I have been working on the engine harness and am about half-way done with it. After that it is time for the chassis harness. I also still need to actually make my transmission mount and weld up a cage to mount my fuel cell. After that I just need to weld up some exhaust piping and route the feed line to the fuel rail and the rear brake line. I plan on routing the brake and fuel lines through the interior.
