FD I believe, Supra not as much.

Of course you immediately have to throw like a grand or more worth of reliability mods at the FD just to make sure it doesn't blow up under your watch.

You can get a low mileage late model LS1 with a T-56, harness, and computer for around $4500. For mounts and other bits, I recommend

They are a tad slow in making parts, (only because it's a 2 man operation) but are highly renowned in the 350 into an RX-7 community. Also try:

Yes they do, but almost everyone hates them. Plenty of horror stories on the torquecentral board I posted.

Retrim the interior in black leather and satin brushed aluminum.
Done.

Or buy an old school Mini Cooper.
