1jz swap?

I have read many stories about whether to go with a 3sgte build, or a turbo 5sfe, including people who have swapped in other toyota engines such as a 1mzfe. But the one thing I have yet to read about was a Supra engine, either the 2.5 or the 3.0. I guess my question is, why not? is it price? or functionality?
I understand more work would need to be done in fabrication and whatnot, so the price would be more. But at the same time, I dont know the spec's to understand how this would affect the handling and weight ratio's.
Im also sure I am not the first person to think of this, just wondering why its never been done.

FYI... the toms Supra contains a turbo mr-2 engine.... but that is a great point... I think the main reason is price as the supras are a very expensive car to upgrade. So I imagine that the engine would be very pricey... but that thing sure would fly in an mr-2... plus the supra is a RWD car, so alot of modding would have to undertake... bigger axles, stiffer springs, better struts

get that thought out of your head. good luck trying to get a supra engine to fit. seriously, i can't stand when people bring this up. it's pointless, stupid, and will never work, so give up.

well, unlike the "people" i have found here, on another board i have found out the answer to my question. while anything is possible, its just not practical by any means. pulling out the trunk, and custom everything. thats the answer you could have given instead of outright calling me pointless stupid and stuff, without even giving a reason why.

on to other notes, the camery v6 does fit in nicely, and provides excellent torque and power. from what i hear, it bolts on to the turbo tranny and only requires a few mounts to be done, aside from all the other needed stuff. Since it is not an iron block, it weighs about the same as a 3s. which help keeps the weight ratio in check.

a straight 6 in the place of a 4 cyl just won't work right its just too big. better luck with a v8
