I have an 87 Supra and a Dodge V8 in my garage.  I would like to put them
together.  The supra engine was rebuilt years ago but the electrical
hook-up after the rebuild didn't work for the previous owner.  I'm hoping
to sell the engine for enough to put in the dodge.  I feel it is`a simpler
engine and would like the torque increase.  
I thought the transmission would bolt to the dodge but found out only the
turbo trans bolts directly via a dokota bellhousing.  Any know of a way to
use the w58 trans with a dodge v8?  I'm not looking for a big power
increase so the w58 is adequate.  I think the bolt pattern is different
from the r154.

Re: Supra with Dodge V8


There's no easy way to put the Dodge V8 in the Supra. Not only don't
bolts line up, but I wonder if there is enough room in the space for
an inline 6 to fit a V8. You're talking about fixing a 25 year old
car. Either fix properly with the right parts or don't fix it at all.
Otherwise, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Re: Supra with Dodge V8

I have an '87 Supra and a 318 Dodge engine in my garage.  I would like to
put them together to have a simplier engine with more torque.  However I
understand only the turbo r154 trans bolts up with a Dakota bellhousing. I
think I have the other trans.  Anyone ever mated a dodge v8 to the w68
trabs?
The supra engine was rebuilt years ago but never used because the
electrical components weren't right. I would like to sell the engine for
enough to do the conversion.  Does any of this make sense?
