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! Hey, where the heck ya been? |

There are a couple websites devoted to shoehorning the 7M-GTE into a Taco shell! Hey, where the heck ya been? 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..... |
