Engine Swapping

[Kibbs]

does anyone know if it would be possible to drop a supra engine into somethin like a corolla?...i'm thinking no that i would need more space...anyone know for sure?

i think you could put a 7m-gte into an old RWD corolla but im not sure, i think you could also put a 1g-gte in there as well but you can only do this to an old RWD corolla

As long as you're willing to cut the firewall and floor pan, you can put in a V12. You'll need to cut and weld engine mounts anyway.
With enough money, anything can be done.

well by "old" how old do you mean cuz i'm wondering about it and all cuz i mean it wouldn't be worth a swap if the costs would be more than the actual supra although the looks of a corolla and a powerful engine behind it would really make the car become a great sleeper

You gonna do the swap or a shop will?
Don't even think about it if you need to pay someone to do all the welding and cutting. It'll cost more then the Supra.

old as in pre 1986 and older, i think they were all rwd before 86

You could use an early 80s Celica. They shared the same platform as the gen 2 Supra. It should easily accomodate an inline 6. A Camry should work too. They were front drivers, but since you have to change most of the driveline anyway poping in a rear diff wouldn't be that much more work. I don't think there is enough room in a corolla engine bay. Also don't forget about the older Toyota trucks and 4 Runners. I have read about many 7M swaps into them. As far as cost goes If you do your own work you can bring it in under budget. If a shop dose it you may as well just fork out for the Supra.
