ive just finished the 2.8 cressida/supra conversion in my 84 extracab. I believe it is what the car should have had from standard. good overtaking power and great to offroad with. cost me 1500 including expensive stuff ups.

engine cost 300
exhaust 300
misc sh*t 600

did it all myself slowly in about 5 months. i am on a student budget so this was the conversion for me. I feel as if i have fixed up toyota's underpowered mistake.

i have a few pics if anyone knows how to make them come up. i have no idea.

the best thing about this conversion is that it all bolts up with no fab needed. clutch being used is from the old hilux as it was a new one. power steer will come with your new engine, all you have to do is get some new lines made up by enzed or whoever. you get the bell housing and clutch setup off an old 5me powered piece of crap and tyhen use it on your 5mge.

I followed this guide roughly http://www.4wd.net.nz/suprasurf.htm and it gave me heaps of help.
