    1uzfe into my mk3 supra.

    ok, so i know it can and has been done (www.v8supra.com). i only know of one, and know of none in the U.S., but i could be wrong. I pulled the motor, wiring harness, ecu, etc. out of an sc400 last week (which i got for a song). my goal is to have the motor running in stock trim by the end of...
