what a score! good one

5M-GE, 2759cc, 120-127kw.

7M-GE and 7M-GTE will bolt in, wiring and minor stuff required.

1UZ-FE will fit

120-127kw hmm so auto would be around the 90rwkw mark right, hahaha

There are stacks of engine swap possibilities, the only limit is how much time and money you want to invest.

Any M series, JZ series or UZ series can (and has) been done with relative ease. The car is very similar mechanically to the MA61 Supra so the same upgrade path can be applied to the MX73.

My 5me with extractors, 2.25" exhaust (no cat), K&N pod (and straight pipe) makes 91rwkw on the dyno (supposedly). People doubt I even make that so I don't think your $50 5me will be making anything over 70

yeap thats what its got. single cam, its not to bad but the auto is shot so ill convert to manual and a couple of gaskets need replacing other than that its sweet. all the lectrics still work. all that was wrong with it was the fuse on the + line. haha. i didnt even buy a new one i just bent them so they where touching.

here are the pics. sorry about the quality i just sold my camera and had to use phone.

awww, looks just like my first cressie.

top idea with the fuse, i will do that to all my fuses now so i don't have to buy anymore.
