DLC Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'm tired of doing the same thing (Supra engine swaps) so I set out looking for something a little different. Came across this last week and couldn't resist the temptation. It is being delivered today As you can see it currently is without an engine. I can't wait to drop my 434ci sbc nitrous motor/powerglide in it. Should make for some fun times. It is still street legal after I switch to M/T ET Streets. I hope to have it up and running soon.

ShaggyZ Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Very cool. Curious... by "doing the same thing (Supra engine swaps)," do you mean that's all you do? Or do you mean that's all everyone else does? If it's the latter, I hope you're kidding, because V8 swaps have been done to death! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't owned a V8 domestic engine in over 25 years!! Here are a few of my latest swaps: Toyota Tacoma SRunner with 2JZ Supra swap http://www.supratrucks.com/S-Runner%202JZGTE.htm 2000 Tacoma ProStreet with 2JZ Supra swap http://webpages.charter.net/dbcaudill/latest_project.htm 92 Toyota Pickup (beater dd) with 7MGTE Supra swap http://webpages.charter.net/dbcaudill/toyota_pickup_with_7mgte_supra_t.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Nice little drag car you found. I think a BBC will do that car nicely! Like the Toy pickups BTW--too cool. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I believe someone on HBZ owned that car before. It was in there sig, it was doing a burnout at night. Good looking car. Really like the trucks, those would be a handful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLC Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Update: Ended up selling the 434 a few weeks ago before I ever got around to installing it. Tossed around the idea of a 2JZ for a few weeks, but finally went with another small block Chevy. The latest engine is a 355 roller engine with bowtie heads, 14:1 compression, 684 lift cam, and bunches of other goodies. I hope to have it running in a few days. The car this engine came from was running 5:60s in the 1/8 mile. Anyway, here are some pics of the engine installed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getZ Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I dig the size of that fuel cell. If that's your grocery go-getter, the store better be near by, like within a quarter mile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 The 355 looks great under the hood. When you get it completely dialed in, let us know what you are turning in the quarter (if you have a 1/4 mi track near you). Thanks for posting the pictures of the complete install--nice work, man!

ratzun Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I know this is a really old post but I was hoping someone could direct me to the current owner of this Z, and if it is possibly for sale. Thank you Brad Barkley www.ratzun.com My email is brad@ratzun dot com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
