But the car sucks anyway haha. It's probably the "best" car I've ever owned that wasn't very much fun to drive. It gets attention. It's a rocket on the freeway. It makes all the numbers but it's just HUGE. I mean it's...huge. Huge vs. Fun...I'll take Fun. So, I'm selling it to fund the 3-rotor project.
Besides, I can't stand Supra owners. My friend summed it up best: "Supra owners are the Corvette owners of the import world."
If you don't know what I mean, try this little exercise: 1. Go up to a Corvette owner. 2. Talk about cars.
Seriously, try it.

20b I'm sold
OK ya'll have sold me on the 20b. I have always kinda been the lack sheep of my family by likeing forgien cars and not following along in the V8 trends of the rest of my family. Even though I did get a Firebird to replace my poor FC. There is a saying there is no replacement for displacement and that addage definatly holds true even for rotaries
Im sold Im gonna put a 20b in the T2 when I get it.

links at top of 20b forum, like was said above. If you want to do it right, budget about 20k for engine parts, plus 15-20k for labor, unless you can do it yourself. I've been pricing out doing a 20b swap into my FB, and here is the list:
cosmo clip: 4-5k
GT42R 1.15A/R: 4k
rebuild and port: 3-5k
Haltek: 2k
FMIC: 1.5K
piping: 500
coils: 500
fuel system (injectors, 2x Aeromotive 1000 pumps, lines, fuel cell): 2k
subframe (i think there is an aussie on the forum that is selling them):~1.5k
radiator: $500
worst case scenario for just engine bits:22,500
then add in:
FD tranny, rebuilt
Ford 9" from Granny's
custom driveshaft
clutch
flywheel
wheels
tires
suspension
widebody
interior
the list goes on and on and on for what you could do with a 20b swap, but as far as just the drivetrain goes i'm looking close to 30k when all is said and done.
