Dont waste your time or money,its an 18r 2 litre,same size engine as the 3y,but it weighs a shitload more. They suck juice and dont go very well at all.

Ah yep won't bolt up, or go any better. Would cost as much as a supra swap probably, still have to cut off old mounts etc. Buy another y-series if yours is buggered or upgrade to something better :D
