Here's my long time (since 1989) Supra that needs a little love once again. I'll post my after pics when I'm done.

Yes, 454 bored one over not long after i bought it. I was traveling when a cold front came through and cracked the cylinder a tad and one exhaust, so I had it done by the former Supra shop manager way back in about 1991 or so. Still only 315 hours so I guess only 150 since the rebuild. I know I should have been on the lake more but I was raising little kids and too many hobbies! I just had my long time mechanic give it the twice over and he was astonished how nice this motor was under the head covers. Running good now. I was planning to sell it but now I am in love again!

Wow, love this. You did a great job. I have a red Supra just like this. Guess I should read up on how to wet sand. Awesome!
