    I bought a Crown V8 front cut from Toyospares, Bayswater, they have done a quite a few conversions (V8, 6 & 4) to all sorts of Toyotas, Holdens and others.
    I know they have done 3 maybe 4 Mk2 Supras as I'm doing at home which is taking forever however this is a workover end to end of the car.
    BTW it won't be cheap but it will be good.

    a search or the conversion?

    its almost easier to ask who hasn't done the conversion. there are about 8 in my area alone.
    and no its not cheap to do but the result is worth it.

    cheers
