There’s a lot more than just the engine involved in this swap. The transmission probably weighs considerably more than the stock unit, but since it’s near the center of the car it doesn’t change the weight balance very much. It DOES affect the polar moment of inertia, although I can’t say how much. The battery was…

Word.

Compact dimensions mean that it will fit in almost any engine bay, and its light weight won’t overwhelm most front suspensions. They’re as reliable as hammers, but when something does break, spare parts are available at any auto parts store (or junkyard). Best of all, they’re dirt cheap. You can install a junkyard 5.3…

No, no, no. Touch screens have little place in a moving car.  Your fingertip isn’t as stable as you think it is, and determining where to poke your capacitance-loving meat stick requires far more concentration than does rotating a clicky knob and using voice controls. Touch screens when you’re sitting still are great.…

I have always admired the looks of these cars. I wonder if you could shoehorn a big American V8 into one?

Monetary worth be damned, you still own one of the most technically advanced supercars of the their day. Hold your head high, my friend.

When I was 24, I bought a euro-spec BMW 635i for a measly $1000. After discovering that the car’s rear end had broken its spot welds and come loose from the body I immediately parked it and parted it out instead of learning how to weld and fix it myself. I kick myself on a monthly basis for prematurely trashing such…

Listening to an audio book is a far cry from watching a movie while driving. Jalopnik, click-bait like this is ruining your reputation.

They bitch because they’re the same over-excited and under-trained people who confuse first gear for third when they downshift and over-rev their engines. There are two gears into which you will logically go from first: Second, or reverse. I learned to drive stick in a dogleg Porsche. It made a hell of a lot of sense…

MK3 Supra. Reliability? No check-mark on that one, I’m afraid. I’ve talked to WAY too many people who have spent WAY too much time chasing electrical gremlins.

Tell me again how this “destroys” the car?

GOOD GOD! What is that THING?

After many years of working on rusty old Japanese cars, my best trick is to heat frozen bolts with a propane torch for a few seconds to free them. If the bolt is still stuck, sometimes tightening it slightly will break it loose.

Most entertaining thing I’ve seen all day. Kudos, Matt!

This is going to give me nightmares.

NO! We need to be aware just how many of these assholes with guns are terrorizing our fellow citizens. Maybe leave the names of the perps out of it, but keep the incidents rolling in. We can only ignore the obvious for so long before we act on it.

So your enjoyment of something hinges exclusively on whether or not you can possess it?

You’ll have to show me the frame rails before I’ll believe it’s “rust free.” I’ve owned five of them, and every one of them has had rust issues. In fact, the one I own right now is, at this moment, sitting on jack stands in my driveway getting the frame rails replaced.

I think you have a major typo in the second paragraph. You say, “Old school in terms of financial mischief”, when I believe you meant to write, “Old school, so I could write a clickbait headline”. Making the first few sentences salaciously juicy then giving us a dry, boring article does nothing to increase my…

I am utterly agog at this. It may have hurt you to receive something like this, but at least now you know who your friends are. Or aren’t.
