I want to throw an 8 cylinder into my celica this summer and supercharge it. Does anybody have any ideas on whats a good v8 engine to look for? And how much would be the average cost for the v8?

Hey, if the chevy LS1 motor can fit in a miata, then why not!?

It is gonna cost you though (alot if someone else does it for you.)

If you have the tools and ability to do it yourself, then your major obstical will be sourcing some parts for good deals.
