you'll have too put washers to where it mounts onto the strut bolts if you use a Supra one because Supra's have forward facing intake manifolds and SC3's have cross over intake manifolds

The Carbing is orig. made for a Supra, which has a diff. master cyl. setup. Youll have to mod. the master cyl stopper. At least I had to on my 95 SC4.

I bought one for a Supra, it was not listed for an SC, their website said the SC was [under construction]. Sorry not good with uploading pics. from a camera to computer.
