The Supra motor is going to take more to get it to fit, and neither will be cheap, actually no swap will be cheap. The 3.4 Taco(3rd gen Runner) motor is an easier swap, no new engine mounts or adapters are needed. You can get everything you need for the 3.4 swap from ORS


More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.

If money wsn't a problem it would be a last gen twin turbo Supra motor <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. Don't exactly need that kind of power in a trail rig, but for the street it would be perfect. With a slight mods you can easily produce more than 400hp's without changing tuurbo's or rebuilding the block.

I have always wanted to rebuild an FJ40 using a supra engine, this would give you all the power neded w/o having to go to a GM motor.
