Sorry to hear about your bad luck with the motor. I have been following you thread with much excitment. I have a silly noob question. I noticed the list of engines you considered at the begining of your project. I was wondering if a Toyota Solara 3.0L V6 would be a possible swap? I think they put out about 200hp and can take a TRD Supercharger to get around 240hp. I wondered if this could be a solution to the length problem of the Supra I/L6 that causes the airconditioner to be left out?
Good luck with the salvage yard.
