Cressida and Engine swaps

[sirkus]

I am about to be in the market sometime in the future for a little project car to play with. I was looking around for another MK3 Supra and started to think about building the 7mgte motor and what I could swap into the supra (1jz, 1.5jz, or 2jz). I then started thinking that I want a 4 door car. So the Cressida is pretty much what I decided to try to find. Turns out my grandmother has a friend with one and is looking to sell. So I was wondering if anyone knows someone with a 1jz or a 2jz in a cressida? I watched several video's on youtube of cressida's with 2jz's and built 7m's and it really has my attention. For being a car with a 3400lb curb weight, you can really build the car to be pretty quick. I was thinking of just a simple stock 2jz on stock boost with the auto tranny would be pretty much ideal for me. I've noticed the price of 2jz engines have gone down a lot since I had my supra too. I figure most of the mounts would have to be fabricated and what not.
Just wondering if anyone else has had one or would like to build one. :goodjob:

Go on Supraforums.com there are quite a bunch of people who done the swap before. Also Madavi Motorsports a sponsor of the site have a bad ass Cress. that won pinks. I also remember another member on here just got one and was toying with the idea as well. I still think there's no real suspension for these cars, most have cut springs i believe?

a 2jz in a cressida would be a beast! :eek:

Hell yeah man, thanks for the info. I just saw the episode of Pinks. I really want to drive one now. Anyone know if Madavi's cressida was a 2jz?

How much does a 2JZ go for btw?
I find them with an auto tranny for around 2k. The actual swap may cost around that too. I think :thinking:

dude keep the 5m-ge in it build and boost put a mk2 supra lsd rear end under it. rabidchimp.com has all the parts you need to do so! there are a lot of bad ass drift cressidas in japan

Madavi's cressida was a 2jz if I'm not mistaken. Also, Batman on here, has a cressida that's pretty damn clean. He just lowered it also.

confirmed maHdavi's is a 2jz

I have a 89 Cressida that is getting a 1jz/Auto. The 2jz/Auto is a little more work for me. I know were a cressida is forsale, and I think they want 500.00..RIP Garage in Dorville makes mounts for the Cressida with a 1jz/2jz

What year? This sounds like a great project, not to mention a killer sleeper :)
89 fully loaded with sunroof,leather etc... Blue interior, and light light blue exterior. Its not bad for 500.00
