Description:
This is my 1988 Toyota Supra with 2003 LM7 5.3L Gen 3 V8 from a wrecked Chevy Avalanche. The transmission is a TKO600 five speed, since it didn't look like a T56 would fit in the tunnel. The motor has F-body accessories, intake, and oil pan and is unmodified and runs on 87 octane gas. A 1998 GM PCM controls the motor via an HP Tuners custom tune.
This was my second Supra, and after driving the first one, I thought it would be a neat car to have a Chevy V8 in. This is actually 2 cars made into one, as I used a wrecked 1991 Supra to do an auto to manual conversion, and also cut out the spare tire well to replace my rusted one. I used the front end, some interior pieces, the wheels, and the limited slip diff from the 1991 car.
I did all the layout and design work myself in my garage.
This was my first Gen 3 engine conversion, hence my LS1 Tech user name.
Prior to this car, I had put the LT1 and T56 from my Trans Am into a 1975 Datsun 280Z and a Gen 1 Chevy V8 w/ T5 five speed into a 1984 RX7.
