1987 7mge swap to 7mgte

[supramk3]

I was wondering if it would be wise to sawp a busted 7mge engine out of an 87 supra auto tranny and put in a stock 7mgte, with 40k miles on the engine. Is this a fairly easy operation? Will I need any other components besides the engine? Everyone tells me its a waste and I should just buy a new car, but I think it would be cheap and easy to install the 7mgte.

Anyone who tells you this swap is a waste should be beaten, it was a waste to make a n/a Supra. The swap is very simple, everything is bolt-in, think about it, same car, same engine, must be bolt-in. Differances between the 7m-gte and 7m-ge are that the GTE has oil squirters, a turbo oil return in the block, intake cam is different (pre 87-88), low comp pistons, ECU, wiring harness, PS reserviour, intake manifold, extra knock sensor, coil pack, CPS, and of coarse the turbo, exhaust, and IC with piping. Also the manual trans is different turbo/na, turbo is the R-154 which is very beefy, n/a has the W-58, driveshaft is different between the auto, n/a manual, and turbo manual. Rear differential is different between the years and models regardless of manual/auto trans, all n/a's got a 4.3 (sport packages got a 4.3 LSD), 87-88 turbo's got a 3.909 LSD, 89-92 turbo's got a 3.73 LSD.
