WHELP! Supra is the same chassis as the SC, (SC has 1-2" taller clearance) With that said, here is the latest from InTheRed from Supraforums:
Anthracite Supra 427 LSX w/Twin GT47-88's 2500HP!
So yes, do it Tommygun!

Well anything can be done. This is not a hard swap at all. Cost depends on allot of things. I already have a SC400 chassis and a full LS1 with a T56, thats in my S13. As soon as I crash the S13, the drivetrain is going into the SC.
You can get a used LS1 pullout for about 4-6k. Make custom mounts,headers,DS,exhaust and some other misc. things that come up. You could do it all for around 10-15k.
I built my LS1 from the ground up, have all new stuff on it/in it. New built T56 etc. I have about 20-30k into my drivetrain I would guess.
Its def. not a budget swap, its more on the lines of preferance.
I should have mine done by end of summer, or sooner.

Ha yes the S13 is my "race" car, or aka drift car. Its a rusty pile of crapola and just isnt what I want anymore, so that means I will treat it like my little bish and beat her down. I would do the swap now, but the S13 is done and I dont really have a garage right now to do the swap.
Trust me I want to sooo bad, I have all the stuff need to do it, just no time. All I would have to do is make a mount set up,mod my headers I have now, or make new ones, call DS shop and get a DS made, exhaust and some fuel lines, and some other misc stuff that you would expect to run into.
I run my engine off a Autorod touch 8 switch pannel and relay/fuse set up, with a remote disconnect. Technically I wouldnt even have to splice into the Lexus harness at all. As I will be using all my Autometer guages as well, just would make a cutom pannel for them to fit in place of the stock guages.
Only thing I was thinking about was, if I ran the engine all independent from the chassis harness, how would I go about making sure the chassis harness has power for the windows,lights etc.? Not a big deal, just a concern. I just need a wiring diagram of the SC400, if you have any cough cough cough ha..
Dont mind the rear wheels, I still need to put some spacers on.
But shes a little dirty bish ha.
