Default this is not a bolt in swap a lil welding is needed

i know ill probably get mixed reviews but check it out, i know... its in the very rough stage of mock up but it is a 7mgte from a 90 supra turbo crammed in there. Im having fb performance making me a custom converter to fit a turbo hydromatic 350 tranny as well as the adapter plates. the car is being worked on at Tuners Edge in newport news, va. It will also use the same rear subframe as the da teg that their putting their fingers in also(which by the way the floor is being cut out for a tunnel) im starting from the engine back where as the da teg is from the rear to the front. well see who gets it done first. hehe lemme know whatcha think

the da teg is in the background as well

Innovative but I give it .

When you get that done and get smoked by a FWD turbo B'series you'll see why!!!

ask Ballard and Hunt.....Pro-Am's

<thumbup> for your enthusiasm and for the 7mgte engine in general. <thumbsideways> for the judgement call on which chassis to put it in (IMHO). <thumbdown> on the final product because it will be extremely noseheavy, i.e. you will have traction issues and it will handle like poop. I wish you all the luck in the world, but I don't think it'll be the drag strip killa that you're hoping for.
