The supra motor in a FD is so lame!! C'mon guys, the newest thing is to have a whole skyline drivetrain installed in your FD!! I love the old "hot rod" inginuity of engine swaps, and I can see maybe going to a 3 rotor or something, but c'mon guys when will it end. Not to start a flame war(because I know the whole engine swap/v8 thing always does) and I love my FD, but that is alot of money to through in a FD. You aren't exactly going to do it for 2 g's..

yeah, I would think that the Supra engine is not only physically larger, but a good deal heavier.
say good-bye to that beautiful 50/50 weight distribution that the RX-7 was blessed with.
as someone else mentioned, it would ruin the handling...well, maybe not ruin it, but with more weight on the fronts, you may be more likely to loose the *** much more often.
