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?

If you ask me... it's a matter of practicality. If you have to ask a bunch of internet mechanics on a forum, then you're clearly not capable of doing such a swap. If you are capable... go look at the motor, look at the engine bay, break out a measuring tape, and decide for yourself.
