You are bidding on a 1988 Toyota Supra with a 5.3 lm7 swap from a 03 Avalanche.The body of this car is pretty straight and the interior is in pretty good shape as well. The car started off as a automatic car and was converted to a 5speed. The mileage on the cluster is unknown if it's true or not. Car is a Targa top.

 

This is a running and driving car. It just needs alittle more tlc to be finished complete. Very few lsx style swapped supras are running around. Everyone jumps on the 1jz or 2jz for supra swaps state side. This car averages about 13mpg in the city. Don't know about the hway as i have no reason to use to for my commute to work. I've had the car for almost a month and have put 400+ miles on it with no hesitation what so ever. It starts everytime!  This would make someone a badass project to finish. This thing only needs a turbo  and cam setup to unlock the full potential of the 5.3.  This car also has working a/c, heat, powersteering and cruise control.

 

Currently the 5,3 has a custom intake with a k&n filter, ls1 intake manifold, sanderson block hugger headers, custom exhaust to a dynomax muffler., fbody oil pan tapped with a return fitting for a turbo setup, custom motor mounts and trans mounts, b&m fuel pressure regulator with gauge,   The computer running it all is a 98 Fbody pcm tuned with hp tuners. The car dynoed 277/315 in may of this year. The 5.3 is mated to a tremec tko 600(rated to 600 ftlbs) 5speed. The trans alone is over 2k new without a bell housing. It is shifted with a mgw short throw shifter  It is utitilizing a heavy duty 6 puck clutch. The driveshaft is a custom ls1 driveshaft with a toyota rear. The rear end is a 4.30.1 geared lsd differential from a 91 na car.  It's rolling on 1991 supra wheels. Tires are falken on the rear and ripken on the front. The brakes are brand new advance silvers with cross drilled and slotted rotors and stainless brake lines.  It  has aftermarket traction arms to help minimize wheel spin and hopping. The radio is a older high end clarion with a built in harddrive, sd slot and aux slot. Not for sure on the speakers.

Car is not perfect, but has alot of time devoted to it by the person who built it and i have spent alittle time on it staightening out some small things. I just don't have the funds to continue with it anymore. The car is for sale as is.  Everything i know that needs some tlc is listed. Feel free to price how much it would cost you to build this exact setup. My reserve price is set reasonably for this type of swap in a supra. The car is being sold locally as well and i have the right to end the auction if it sells.
