Lots of different opinions here-this is mine: I love Toyotas but I'm gonna go with the Chevy 4.3-injected. Lighter than a SB350 & lots o power.

Jus my 2 cents. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Plus I believe the EGR doesn't stick out like on the 7M.

I have picked up a 2JZ, and will either be putting it into my 4runner, or into my 89 2wd pickup. Don't know yet.

yea, with simple mods, you can make the 2jz-gte engine really powerfull, and quite a nice low end. and they are really good engines from all i can gather. did you pick up a turbo version, or the non..

Brandon--post up some 5.0 dyno results.

The 5.0 makes 215 hp and 285 ft lbs torque.
The 7M-GTE makes 232 hp and 254 ft lbs torque.

I searched the web and couldn't find any stock 5.0 curves--this is as close as I could find:

i got 205 rwhp 268 rwtq out of a 1990 lx coupe with just h pipe, 65mm tb, crank pulley, k&n air filter, stock timing. Source

Meanwhile, here's a thread explaining how to get 268 Rwhp and 286 rwtq on a 7M-GTE with roughly the same amount of money the above guy spent.

The 5.0 makes less power and more torque than the 7M-GTE, but the 7M has FAR (let me say that again...FAR) more potential for less money than you'd spend on a 5.0. Hell, my Supra is making well over 300 hp and 340 ft lbs with just a K&N filter, 3" exhaust and a couple of washers under the wastegate for an additional 2.5 psi boost.

In case you haven't seen it, here's a stock 7M-GTE power curve: (Note the flat torque curve)

Feel free to post up stock and modified 5.0 charts.

pretty impressive..

I don't have any numbers or charts and I don't want to race <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

But I might just throw some of this up on some of the 5.0 boards I visit to see what they say. Not really denying anything - I got a mustang and drove it home for $700, sold parts for more. It was the deal I found, maybe if I found something else I woulda gone another way. My truck is far from anything that could be raced but I can step on the gas while moving and peel out, do donuts on the road with my 38" swampers, and I'm happy with it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

(I need a new pic, got some mods and cleaned it up)

during my swap I have been blown away with how much easier it is to get ford parts and how much cheaper they are. Keep parts costs in mind, and upgrades - look in a summit catalog and see how much aftermarket toyota stuff there is compared to the 5.0..

Real World trail use. I can idle my 7MGE down to 300rpm on the trail and not stall.

Ken, how did you fit the 7M-GTE with the fan in there?! Does the hood close? Looks like the radiator sticks up quite a bit. Did you get the A/C to fit?

With all this talk about swapping 85-92 7M-GE's and GTE's, has anyone tried to swap a '93+ supra or celica engine in? Won't fit? The hoods on those supras look pretty long.

nice swaps - those look real tight! Good find on the car, got more info on your swap or is that pic in the car?
