StuartW Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 just got back from a 600 mile 15 hour trip with my new Supra! Need a few bits to finish project..LOL Especially interested if anyone knows about torque converters from 2JZ to Ford powerglide box:search: as it is without one, But otherwise one hell of a supra!

Homer Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Congrats Stuart, this is one hell of a project to take on! Will be following your updates with great interest For the prop/housing stuff it might be worth a chat with likes of calder or DJ Craig as I think they've run the same setup. MVP or WOTM might be another possible contact but think they use the stock trans or TH400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 You'd probably use the T/C for the Powerglide with a custom made flex plate. Personally I thnk you'd be better with a Lenco in it than a 2 speed Powerglide. 2 speeds aren't much for a boosted engine with a big turbo. It needs a BIG N/A V8 really... Nice looking spec, good luck with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 It must be tempting to put a BBC engine in there with a gigantic blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP or WOTM might be another possible contact but think they use the stock trans or TH400. Could also be worth giving Webster Race Engineering a call, they do a lot of jap stuff now and have worked on a lot of the HKS drag cars incl the CRD Supra, as well as working on big yank tanks, so im sure they'd be able to help you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartW Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 It must be tempting to put a BBC engine in there with a gigantic blower. NO NO and NO gotta stay 2JZ! Big Blocks are too heavy,too common and too Yank:p when the rain stops i will take pics and start my projects thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Fish Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 speak with Supragold - I believe the bodyshop referred to did his car/were friends of his. Damanc should be able to shed a bit more light also. i thought it sounded like bibby...as they said in one of his mag features he was building something like you have described above... good luck with it mate!
