There's no shortage of JDM Twin Turbo Toyota engines. Do a quick search on EBAY and you will see! As far as selling the car I'm not sure I will slap it together, hate the build and give up! I've done that building cool GM sleepers that nobody wanted unless I was giving them away. But there is just something I love about the Darts and Valiants. They are the perfect size to have fun with, look great, and their simplicity is welcomed in a world of 10 airbags, Tire Pressure Monitoring, Roll Over Protection and OnStar. Not a day goes by in our Sassy Grass Green Scamp that we don't get a thumbs up or a smile! You just don't get that kind of love in a Supra. Heck I never got it in a Chevelle or the 2 Camaros I've owned.
That being said I love modern engine technology. I like revving 7,000 rpm, I like the midrange torque of turbos, and I love the smoothness of an inline six. If at some point I want to make 700hp with this car I will be able to do it without too much rebuilding.
If I had a nice 340, Viper, New Hemi, for the same low price as this Toyota engine I'd would have considered any of those.
One thing is for certain, I promise you that when you see the car done you will be glad I saved it from getting scrapped, you might even appreciate somewhere in the back of your mind that the car is still as practical as it was with the Slant 6!
Frankly you motivate me even more to not just toss my engine into a Lexus IS300 and scare up a 340 for my little Valiant!
