I wouldn't think it's even possible to fit an inline 6 to a vehicle
designed for a 4-cyl or V6 without serious compromises. It would
easier for you to put a V6 into your truck and either turbocharge it
or supercharge it. I even know of one who had the 4-cyl he had built
for high boost and was clocking the 1/4 mile in the 13's. It seems
cheaper and more practical to me.

There are those who have done it! There are a couple websites
devoted to
shoehorning the 7M-GTE into a Taco shell!

Sorry that I've been gone a while. Business is booming and I got busy
with modifying my two MKIV Supras.

You'll be interested in this. I had my 97 Supra converted from a
4-spd automatic to a 6-spd automatic from a Lexus. The software was
more difficult to perfect than it was to install the hardware. I had
other things done to the 94 also.

How has everything been with you?

Pretty good, but I got laid off from a job I really liked.

Business is booming, eh? Hmmmm.....

Sorry to hear that you got laid off. From what I remember you were
having problems there anyway right?

I'm not trying to rub it in but yes business is booming for me now.
It started when a big client had to back out of their contact due to a
contraction in their business. I had to pursue other work for the 3
client reps I had supporting that business. I went into commodities.
I'll give you two examples that may help you out. When oil dipped to
about $51 a barrel, we invested into that and look what they've been
selling for recently. We did the same with gold when it was down to
the low $500's.

The lesson is when bad things happen sometimes, it actually turns out
for the better.
