[Supras] few questions on engine swap...

    No Supra is crappy in my eyes. I would love to have an auto to cruise 
around in. Swapping the motor is a lot of work. Here's what I know youll 
need... You'll need the engine harness and ecu for sure. But you also have 
to realize that some if not most of the sensors are different as well. The 
oil pressure switch is different then the US ver. Not sure if you will need 
the dash harness as well since you are changing the ecu. You will also need 
the 1jz bell housing.
    The 2jz swap takes alot of custimizing from what i have heard. I would 
love to have a 2jz with a 6 speed in my 87. I have no idea what goes into 
doing the 2jz swap tho.

As far as the interior goes... I changed my 86.5NA to grey by grabbing what 
i could find at Pick-a-part. I even changed the dash... That was the pain in 
the ass part. Its all real simple to change, just time consuming. I wouldn't 
suggest spraying the interrior, your supra would just look like all the 
wanna-be show hondas out there.
