7m conversion with auto?

Post by GotFlex »

Hey guys ive done some searching but cant find much, ive got a ln61 with the 3ye and auto box. what i want to know is will a 7m or 5m motor bolt up to the auto trans and handle the power? and ive heard the supra swap only fits the diesel engine mounts, is this correct?


cheers

from what I have found out with doing a lexus conversion on my truck (3ye auto surf) the gearbox and transfercase is a random piece of shit that nothing bolts up to lol. Others will know more than me though. Did you find Jafa's thread? Cant remember what his truck was originally but he did a real tidy conversion.
