                So, all it takes to make a Supra fast is an engine out of a Ford Probe? Who'da thunk it. Someone should tell them over on the Supra forum, LOL.

                      Thats what Paul Walker did in the first Fast and the Furious. Once he swapped a Probe engine over it was all over for Vin Diesel.

                        hahaha that thing's like a weed eater on steroids! I wonder what he built it for? I'd be worried about a pushrod accidentally getting bent. They look so thin.
