77 celica

You guys talking 1ggte out of a supra? If so why not the other usual suspects (7m, 1j & 2j)?

To be honest I don't even know if those are front or rear drive but I've always liked the look. They strike me as a japanese version of the old fastback mustangs.

Mine is a coupe. the motors u mention can fit the 76-77 celicas a lil better but a lot of modding and fabbing that the 1ggte wouldnt need in those year cars, less room in the 74 eng bay though. If i had my pick i would go 1ggte or 1jzgte. If i ever got crackhead deal on 2jzgte i would put it in Mk2 P type supra instead, more room and weight, and i would guess more rigid chassis to take the torque.
!ggte comes in rhd supra, cresta and soarer. I wouldnt mind 1ggte in Ae86 hatch at all but that requires alot of fabbing and if i want to keep car well balanced for handling I would have to cut up the firewall and move engine back thru it.

Yeah the only thing I didn't so much like about the jdm motors (1g, 6m, 1j) was that there is really no aftermarket for them here as far as basic replacement parts (at least that I know of). I bought an 86 p-type a few years back as an autox project, stripped the interior and wound up daily driving it for a year when the 7m in my mk3 blew up (what a cold ass winter that was with no heat or insulation). I plan on buying it back at some point and doing a 7m swap due to the ease and availability.

None the less props on the old toyota love. I'm glad to see some other guys sticking with these cars.

1ggte can use parts from 1jz and 7m like turbos, starter, alternator, injectors, maf. And the flywheel/clutch/pressure plate from 22re, u can put w58 to 1g bellhousing, which i have. Have eng, eng wire harness, hks knock off bov (might even be an Hks), w58 trans, 1g auto trans, some misc intercooler piping from ka24det, 3 inch ihi downpipe with bung sensor for ka24det which i wouldve modified for 1g if used it, sell all of it or trade for rims with cash on top or extended cab truck.
Im always gonna be a yota freak.
