Default Supra Block/Aristo ECU?

Hey everyone, quick questions. I may have found a low mileage JDM supra motor




My question is, will I be able to run this? I'm guessing I'd need the 4-speed auto and the Aristo ECU, but would this combination works? Thanks!

From the pics you are also going to need the upper intake manifold, motor mounts, new wire harness (unless you feel like cutting and extending stuff (can be done just a pain) I just took a quick glance but those things seemed to jump out at me. Good luck finding an Aristo harness by itself, and even if you do it's gonna be $$$. Oh, and I *think* if I remember correctly you are going to need the oil pan from an Aristo or use the one from your Gs and modify it for oil return lines

So, if I were to pick this up for under 100 bucks, would it still be worth the hassle?

There was a thread on craigslist for it, but now I'm hearing that it is a hoax. Stupid people. I'm not 100% though....

EDIT, Now I'm hearing that this very well may be a legit motor for sale. If it is my friend is going to pick it up for me tommorow.

IF it is legit.. you will nickle and dime yourself to death collecting the rest of the parts.

Just use the short block (bottom end) and stick your head and intake manifold on it (top end). Enjoy the benefits of the stronger GTE internals and boost away on a custom kit for the GS300.
