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?

A v8/v6 swap, things will be tight and kinda iritating to work on, but I know I would love it!
The only motors I can think of right off that would be good is either a chevy 350 ( can get easily for around $200-$300, I know, I've looked!) a LS1 motor (cheapest if from a salvageyard, duh) or the nissan VQ35DE motor (I know, it's a v6 but also easy to find either a fwd or rwd format in a salvage yard, slightly smaller than a v8 so more room to spare, and comes with around 300 bhp with plenty of room to go up!) Also the camry v6 as well... Anyone of these would be sweet and since you said you want to supercharge it, then anyone of these are good canidates. Good Luck and keep us posted! I love these type of things! --------------------  CLOSED on 25 acres! -shop coming soon.... |
