Is it even possible?

I've been thinking about about this and am very curious about the possibilities. I have an inline 6 motor out of my old Toyota Supra. it's a nicely built 7m-gte so it's not small. but was pushing about 350whp. modified turbo, Wastegate, injectors ect. but would it ever be possible to fit it in our cars? I have all the wiring for it and the computer. just thinking of a project that is very different.

This guy managed to fit a GM 4200 Vortec inline-six engine in his 3rd-Gen.

I'm sure that a 7M-GTE swap is certainly possible. Just depends on how much time, effort, and money you're willing to devote to the project.

Re: Is it even possible?

Like everyone above said, anything is possible if you have at least 2 of the 3: time, money, patience. The are sites that sell all kinds of adapters to met just about any engine and transmission combo. I think your biggest hurdle would be the length of the engine.

Sigh, we're supposed to be embarassing the ricers, not crossbreeding them.

In my opinion ricers are 4 bangers. just my thought. that 7M has good power and torque to make me feel alright with putting it in this car considering both a supra and camaro weight about the same just looking for a unique swap that can also hand me some power as well. thanks for all the input.
