It would not be a worthwhile swap. It would also disable your convertible GT. Why not sell the convertible GT and use the money for a new Supra engine and have one good car that's not cobbled together with zip-ties?

If you don't like the Mustang sell it and buy a replacement motor or the 2jz-kljkjlijjkgffklsuiorekjo engine (or what ever the F the supra engine is). Or even sell the Mustang and put a carbed V8 in it

Yes, I'm not trying to be cheap.. i'm being realistic. Everyone can say go buy a 4.6L DOHC or a 2JZ-GTE motor.. but I do not have $3,XXX.XX to buy the engines. I can do the swap.. should be gutting the Supra and Mustang.. label every wire coming out of anything. Attach it all back into the Supra. Make the engine mounts, fab up the driveshaft so it will bolt up to the Supra rear-end. I'll have to figure out how to make the ignition work.. either keyless push button start or some other method.. that's probably were a lot of the money will be going. and then making the interior look presentable.

That's what i thought.. but everyone wants to critique. I'm sure people hated Christopher Columbus and his idea to find another chunk of land in a huge body of water.. but he found America damnit!
