5m motor and 7m motor Options

[wrathc5525]

my friend has one of the old supras with the 5m motor in it and over the weekend he threw a rod and was wondering if a 7m would bolt up or how hard it would be to convert does anyone know???

it would not be an easy swap.

False, is one of the easiest ( beside the 5MGE ) swap that can be done to a MK II ( supra ( 1983-1986)

The 5mge and 7mge motors do not share any parts.

the 7M is an upgraded version of the 5M, they share most of the parts


The motor mounts do not light up and I dont think the 7mge can bolt up the 5mge transmission.

motor mounts line up perfectly and the transmission is the same for both engines ( 5MGE / 7MGE )

just to let you know, this is a 6th generation celica forums. No one specialized in those series of engines.

I think you will get more help at other toyota forums.



I know this little but on the forums you have a lot of people who can talk about this for hours, people with a lot of experience, but the question was post on the wrong section, this belongs to the off-topic.


go to celicasupra.com there you'll find all the info regarding this and other swaps, they have documented swaps with people that drive and love these old school beauties.

Good luck
